Thinking of one who has MS, single, can't drive, can't walk far, has trouble on their own home entry, not good with computers. Getting benefits, but faces a $400.00 shortfall monthly. What are people to do?

According to the Bible, people are told to tithe. If every adult American gave 10% of their earnings, to a charity, church, government program, food banks, homeless shelter, community homes, there would be a safety net. But most people won't. The federal programs funded by taxes seemed to be to make sure there was some help for people in need. But greed rules. The ruling rich, in general, don't give a damn about others, just what they can suck out of them. So we have people lining up at food banks, selling their bodies, or body parts, or dying in hospital parking lots.
