One time when I was first on Nostr, there was a lady who was asking for help feeding her family.

She didn't have money for groceries and she lived somewhere where US dollars are worth much more.

I knew she was legit cause I had seen her for a while and she would post regularly and had proof.

Not thinking much of it, I zapped her 30k sats which was significantly less back then than it is now.

I moved on and kept scrolling, but a few hours later I get a DM, it's this lady and she has sent me a video of all the food on the table that the sats I sent bought.

She was so grateful and excited and I knew I had had a valuable impact on her life that week.

It made me realize more than I ever have how important helping each other is because we have all been in similar situations once in our lives.

Made me decide that I wanted to continue to do that and make people's life's a little better if I could.

It also gave so much more to me to see the reaction and joy than anything that money could have bought me could.
