When trying to change lives it is easy to get caught up in the larger things like donating large sums of money, and volunteering in far away third world countries. Well, although that is very kind, it can be costly and difficult. An easy way to change lives is right from your computer or phone!
Many people need comfort due to disaster, medical issues, anxiety, poverty, and many more, from your home you can make these peoples lives better. What you do, is you go to a chat site (yahoo works well) or forums for people who want to relate to other people with problems. You don't want to go barging in there interrupting their peace, (they may feel upset since you cant directly say you know what they are going through) but you can quietly post a topic about you wanting to help others via email. Say in your post that you are there for them, and would love to talk with them about ANYTHING (don't make them talk about what is going on, chances are they may want to escape all that talk and discuss something normal). Post an email address where you want these conversations to take place, and click send. When someone emails you, make friendly conversation, have fun with them, become friends. Listen to everything they want to say. Everyone needs to vent sometimes, and you can be there for those people.
This is an easy and deeply rewarding way to change peoples lives. You may not get many emails, but when you get one, put your heart and soul into making that persons life more relaxing.
There are many forums for people seeking others like them, all can be accessed using the google search. If you need help finding some, post in the comment box below and I can help you.
Help people with things going on that you are interested in, it keeps you connected. I for one am interested in oncology, so I find myself supporting those with cancer.
This way to help people is a direct way to help others, with immediate results, it pulls you close to helping others, and seeing how much you can change someones life.
I thank you all for reading today's post, I know that you will change lives
-I do want to remind you all, not to be pushy or ask too many questions, be polite and be a genuine listening friend
