I just think Villagegolfer failed a bit in getting his sense of humor across, but I still think it's real fine of you to give of your time even if you would rather pass on receiving credit for it. I think most volunteers feel likewise.

It would be nice, and I hope it does or can occur, where these same people can be afforded council and provided some inspiration and the tools on how to take their lives back in their own hands. It is far more rewarding to know you have made your own way. But, we sometimes need a hand to accomplish this.

Sometimes I think charitable organizations, and I don't mean the one you volunteer with by any means, help to proliferate the problem by making it too easy and too comfortable to bother struggling any more. It's a real dilemma.
