Increment Amount (The Joy of Giving)
Few months back, my office security guard was diagnosed with mouth cancer and had a tough time. I was really concerned about his health and the mental trauma he was facing. I prayed for him, counseled him and sent a request to all my co-workers for a small amount of contributions for his hospitalization expenses.
A few colleagues were quite generous and contributed for him. He was on Chemo and had only one chemo left, when the hospital asked to pay around 20K. Being only working as a security guard, of course he did not have that money.
I prayed for him and promised myself to help him during this difficult time. I got my salary today with some increment and I sent the increment amount to meet his last chemo expense.
What I've learned from life, is that you can earn more money but the opportunities to help others are few. Have a big heart when our small contribution can save a human life. God is so kind to me when I was facing the most difficult part of my life. And I am full of gratitude for the friends I met on this wonderful site who motivate for doing good, no matter whatever the situation is!​

I am aware that i probably have turned down opportunities small and large to help others. Thank you for showing such a clear and true understanding of the most important choices. I hope i remember you the next time a choice like this comes along.
