About this stage of the journey
ASSIST
Every now and then, we all need a little support. Sometimes, we feel like there’s nothing that we can do that’s helpful. Assisting doesn’t necessarily mean a long-term commitment or the expenditure of money. With a little effort, and the use of personal skills, there’s always a meaningful way to help.
