I just want to win the lottery so I can help out some good people that have had a terrible time

Just been chatting to an old friend from uni, she's had such a bad time, health, redundancy and just managed to get out of bad relationship. I just wish I could give her money and help her out. She's not asking me for money, I actually messaged her and sadly I'm short of money myself. But I suppose a miracle or lottery win is the only way for us average people to make a big change. I'm not in a bad place, maybe 10k debt from not quite earning enough to cover the bills for the past few years since having kids. But there are a handful for truely wonderful souls I know that deserve better. I'll keep working hard, just would love to be able to help her.

bless you.

but helping them by being supportive is priceless so just keep doing that. whatever life throws at us if we are isolated on top of that it can feel like hell. so just keep in contact, let them cry on your shoulder. you are a star x

You're probably right. It was nice to catch up, even if things had been rough for her. I mean if I started dishing out money for everyone's woes, then I'd never know who was genuinely in need. It must be really hard for celebrities or wealthy people to make new friends without being suspicious of peoples motives.

I must say I've encountered some horrible people at times and just now and again you make a friend or meet someone who deserves better.
