#303 Help someone that has drama in their life
You have a brain and a heart. Sometimes it feels like your brain is taking over a bit too much. You wonder if you can really call someone who has had children, even though you’re super curious about what it’s like to have a baby. Perhaps they are too tired, perhaps, the child has colic, and they do not want to be disturbed by anyone?
One hesitates to suggest going for coffee with someone who just broke up with their partner. Perhaps they’d rather drink beer and forget, and you don’t want to drink beer right now but having tea at a café may just feel depressing when you’ve recently become single so it's probably best not to ask today, either.
You definitely don’t call someone who has recently lost a relative, has been fired or been involved in a serious accident. It hurts too much and you do not want to be intruding.
This is all wrong.
5-year-old June convinces us of the 365 editorial team even more. A while ago her friend Hanna died of cancer. 5-year old June doesn’t go around wondering if she should call her friend's parents or not. She collects money for them by selling perler bead art. In this way, she pays tribute to Hanna's memory, but she also helps Hanna’s parents to start a fund. You need €1000 In order to start a real fund. That could strike some as odd. Might be reason to call someone in power and ask why. In the meantime, you can help Hanna's parents to help other children with cancer.
