Hurricane Harvey brought this into focus for us. We had minor damage to our home (about $1500 to fix, quite a bit less than our deductible).
Literally 8 friends called me within 24 hours to tell me to file with FEMA so we could get help to pay for it. A few days later, my supervisor told me I'd be paid for 2 days of time off I'd taken to deal with the storm (I'm a contractor with no PTO) because they didn't want to cause a financial hardship for anyone [great company].
I very much appreciated all of the concern from everyone, but we hadn't even thought about the money. It isn't a big deal - either the 2 days with no pay or the repairs. We kinda shrugged and were looking for ways to help those who don't have the cushion to handle this. Families who sent their kids to school barefoot because everything they owned was ruined and, with their jobs closed, they have zero money to replace shoes. [Our school district is addressing these needs.]
It really brought it home to me how our choices, and, to a large extent, the luck of being born into the families we have, have protected us from financial worry and allowed us to donate to help those who haven't had the breaks we've had.
