What altruistic act do you want to do, but don't have the ability to do it now?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) June 16th, 2021

For a very long time I have wanted to provide a place to live to new refugees into the United States. I used to think about it for Jewish people coming in from Russia, or any country really. Then I wanted to help a Syrian family. Now, there are reports of people in Afghanistan who helped the United States, who are still in their country, in danger, and it sickens my heart that they are left behind like that. How many are there? We should bring them to the US! I wish I had a guest house (which I have always wanted anyway) to let them stay for a few months while they adjust. They could maybe help me around the house if they wanted to and live at peace for a bit. I would try to help them get a job or whatever would aid them in establishing their new life in the US.

Your altruistic act could be a money donation, giving time to a charitable organization, helping a family member, really anything that you have wanted to do, but still have not done it yet. Do you think you will ever be able to do it?
