Giving to those in need out of compassion and mercy is what we mean when we say “charity.” The adage goes something like, ‘Charity begins at home.’ Basically speaking, kindness starts at home. First, one typically helps those closest to them, such as family and friends. Then, go to faraway regions, the needy and vulnerable awaiting aid and compassion.
Athletes and sports celebrities have the wherewithal most of us can only dream of. But it often entails spending money on the luxuries such as expensive jewelry, flashy cars, and sprawling estates. And it’s hard to blame them. But still among that crowd are a few sportspersons who go out of their way to help others. Many make charitable contributions and provide financial support for relief after natural disasters. Some also provide financial aid to deserving students and lend support to the institutions that take care of them. Then some make it a point to reach out, lend moral support, and spread the word so that more join to help.
