A couple of days after I opened this thread, my husband met this woman's brother. He NEVER bumps into him, but they were both davening at a different shul then their regular one (very unusual for my dh). Her brother asked him 'Is your wife the Mrs. X who's helping my sister out?' (We have a common last name).
DH answered 'yes'. He said 'Please send me the bill. But give them part of it so they can maintain their dignity!'
This is literally a case when if you want to do the right thing, Hashem helps! |
Thank you for sharing this op. I know we shouldn’t need reminding but it’s good to get a reminder anyway, first of all that there are people like you in the world, and also that Hashem is guiding every step we take. He puts us in exactly the right place at the exact moment we’re supposed to be there.

I don't have money to donate, but time? Happy to donate that!
He wants to cover as much as he can whilst still maintaining their dignity.
He also gave me a visa gift-card to use, telling me that I should tell his sister that 'there was a promotion on xyz' or 'x supermarket had a 20% off day..'. |
Ask your Rav but it might be that you can deduct from your maaser, the value of your time in this chessed. You are already donating wear and tear on your appliances and equipment.
May Hashem reward you for this in both this world and next. I think you got a clear sign from Hashem that he loves what you are doing. THe hashgacha pratis alone is amazing.
