This year, I decided to help a former school mate. She was my junior and she had come into some financial difficulties. She posted on her Facebook and was making posts about unaliving herself because everyone had abandoned her. I reached out, she explained how her husband had abandoned her and how she had lost her job. I sympathised with her. Sent her some money and Ubered some groceries, meat, chicken and the like to her and her son. She was grateful and I was at peace. She later called after some days that she had a job interview and needed transport money. I sent. A few days, she asked for money to pay the nanny, I sent. A week after, she needed money for something I sent half. After some days, she asked for some money and food, I told her I was not in the space to help as I was having my graduation and right after graduation I was going in for my thyroid surgery so all the money had gone to that. I however, would give her groceries provided she paid to have everything delivered to her. Tell me why this girl cut the line, then called me later to tell me how disappointed she was in me for letting her down, and how I was like everyone else abandoning her. How dare I refuse giving her a little money that she was going to pay back. How dare I offer groceries minus delivering them. She said all sorts of nasty things without an ounce of guilt. Didn't even care that I was unwell. All she cared about was herself. She doesn't talk to me ever since and frankly, I am relieved. I truly wanted to help and I did help from a good place. But that shege she showed me, has me thinking twice before helping anyone.
