Donations
We all have some moments in our life when you wish to make donations or to help someone.
Recently I read something on the internet, “ to help a person only if they ask you”. They said something about the bad energy from they will come to you. I totally disagree with that. Of course, I just could not stay back and say nothing. I just let some comments and sound like that:
Did you offer you help?
-Did you help a poor old person on the streets with some money? even if they did not ask for it? It is like a small donation too.
-Did you help someone at the stairs, what they have a baby stroller?
-What about the seats in public transport? It is classic, it is true but did you ever did it?
-What about to open the door and let the other person be first? It is a nice gesture, it is true? of course, it is and is nice to be nice.
In my idea to help someone is … hard what I try to explain. You just not gonna do it for them. You are doing that for you. It is true, sometimes I have a bad day and I don’t want to be polite, I’m too tired from work ore I have some other problems on my head.
You have to believe me, that in my soul I did not feel good. In the next few seconds, I start to feel shaming my self.
But believe me, in the next few minutes, I just start to regret my self how stupid I can be. And I feel like I’m shaming my self. It was not like I was capable to help that person. Suppose to be a nice gesture, and that’s all. Just a small gesture.
We all have to be agree, that you have a big chance to become an enemy with your friends. If you borrow them with money. This is a different type of story. That is not any donation and of course, they are not trusted, friends.
All right, but this article supposed to be about donations. When you make a donation you have to be happy. Happiness and donations are working together. All you need to think is about the happiness that to create it with your donation.
You can donate almost everything. I say almost everything, we have to accept that, there are some limits, even when you make a donation.

A story about a small donation
Me, I’m not the kind of person who would give (donation) money on the streets. We need to understand that there are many people, which make a business asking for money on the streets. Those persons are good for work, but they prefer to wait for your donations, asking for money.
I remember one day I was coming from work. It was behind the Ilford train station. I was heading to the shop to buy my regular food. One guy behind me was running to me, and he starts to talk.
I remember one day I was coming from work. It was behind the Ilford train station. I was heading to the shop to buy my regular food. One guy behind me was running to me, and he starts to talk.
I’m 1,83 cm tall, but that guy was bigger than me. He has a white and clean shirt on him. Also clean pants too. After his look, he was not a street man.
First thing in my mind It was, if you try to hit me I will hit you too. And I was ready… but everything changes in one second. I sow the guy face, it was not a violent face. It was sweating on the face, and his facial expression was scared one, and also sad.

He cam close to me and start talking to me:
“ Hi man, usually I’m not doing this, but please can you help me with 5 pounds. Please man, I really need it”.
I was watching him and I told him no. In my mind, I was thinking that I have 10 pounds all my cash. What about my food for today. You are bigger than me and good to work.
I just left that person behind me, and I was going to the food shop. To the shop, it was like 150 meters. The bus station was near too, and it was a street corner.

All this road I was thinking about the guy. He asked me for some money. If I give some money on the streets, I have my criteria. Usually, I like to make a donation to old people, ore people who need the money but they can not work. This guy was something strange about him.
I get in front of the shop and I stop there. The person was at the bus station. I take that 10 pounds what I have it in my pocket and I go to him.
Take it, bro, and I give the money to him. At that moment I saw the surprise and happiness on his face. He touches me on my shoulder and told me: “Thank you, you help me a lot man. Where you from? you are Polish?”. “No man I’m from Romania”. Thank you, you help me a lot, God bless you, friend.” And I left him at the bus station.

Of course, after I give hin the money, after that I just go to the cash machine across the road. Take another 10 pounds, to buy some food for me.
I was thinking about my gest, it was ok to give the money to that guy or not? Anyway, I was happy and I was feeling good. It was not 100% full happiness inside me but in my heart… I told my self that the guy really needs my help. 10 pounds was like small donations but in the end, I feel it good.

Before to give him the money I was watching the person. He was sitting in the bus station and he was not asking for money for other persons. He just sitting there and he looks like he was waiting for me. Maybe it was karma.
Make donations
That was one of my little stories, about giving away money on the streets. We cannot call it a donation, but this article what I write is about donations.
Anyway if you want to make a donation, I have a page on my website, https://shadesofromeo.com/. Here is the page https://shadesofromeo.com/donations/ where you can make a donation if you intend too. I can not say that my activity is a charity one because what I’m doing is my passion. It is more like a hobby for me. I did not get any donations. All the flowers that I buy from the market to offer it for free on the streets are from my own money. I work in construction, and as long I have a job for me is ok.
