Hello @ekemini01 this is a wonderful entry, you write so well. Yes Charity should start at home to help a child imbibe the attribute and as you rightly said the main charity should be to strangers because Christ said as you do unto these ones so are you doing unto me.
I am glad you offered help to someone during a tough period, I am sure the person will always remember your act of kindness.
I wish you the best in the challenge.
