Growing up we had many less fortunate kids stay with us from time to time, outfitted them with old clothes, donated small items, had kids over for dinners, packed extra lunches, etc. It was truly a revolving door of helping others.</span></font></i><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-feature-settings:normal"><i><font color="#666666">The ONE MAJOR RULE: Never point out who was there, who received a hand "up", who was wearing your old clothes, or who was staying with us. We ALWAYS respected the families/kids' privacy. My parents were very strict about protecting the privacy of the other families that may be struggling.</font></i></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-feature-settings:normal"><i><font color="#666666">For some reason I LOVED being a "secret helper" and I'm grateful they were an example of this kind of generosity...
