Helping others can make us happy.
Today's article is about helping others and the ways that you can help people with which are most effective and will make anyone happier.
Food
There are a lot of people in the world that cannot afford to eat food on their daily life and sometimes they eat from the trash or the dustbin on the street and they simply don't have money to buy food and they are also probably homeless people which require vitamins and nutrition's on a daily basis just like us and any other person. Giving away food rather than giving money if you are somehow uncomfortable by giving money will help the homeless people or any person eating from the trash by providing them at least with one meal once in a while, or maybe every day you can buy them lunch from a snack or small restaurant or shop nearby which will make their day and will feed them a little bit. Buying something like tuna cans, bread or a sandwich, burger or pizza can make their day and feed them at least for lunch. Remember, a lot of homeless people have families and some of them aren't even from your own country and their country might have war or a lot of crimes for example and is very unsafe for them and they can risk dying so they immigrate to another county in hopes of being safer and maybe finding a job or living a happier life. And the worst case scenario immigrants in your country cannot even find a job because your country might not allow them to work or the companies or any source of income might be hard to get if you are not having a citizenship or legal ID.
Giving away water or opening and building a free water station
You can actually help a lot of people by providing water for them to drink which can be built in the ground and they can simply come whenever they want and drink water, there are a lot of organizations that will love to help in building this water source and will probably even help you fund the money. If you don't have money you can even fund it by using gofundme website or other similar websites so you can open the project that you want to build for the poor people. You can even simply just buy some bottle of waters and give them to the homeless in your area which is very simple to do and doesn't cost too much money. Water is essential in our daily life and we are literally made mostly out of water so therefore we require a lot of water to drink maybe 7 to 8 cups of water a day is required for each adult especially in countries which are hot or have a lot of heat from the sun.
Giving money
Giving away money for the homeless people or anyone poor will literally make their day better and will provide them with their needs like water or food or anything necessary like a medicine for example and especially if they have little kids and they are immigrants that are begging for money on the street. If you really want to help someone and you are able to provide them with money you can give them every week a sum of money totaling the end of the month which is somehow like a salary for every month paid per week which will make their life a lot better, and they will be a lot happier. You can even open a restaurant or small snack shop for them to buy very cheap food and water, or for free. Remember, sharing is caring.
Running a funding program or campaign on one of the websites available on the web for any homeless that you want to help
You can even help them all every time you see a homeless person or immigrant that is begging for money or simply sleeping on the street try to talk to them and run a gofundme or similar funding system for them to have money. Websites like justgiving, gofundme, and patreon are there to help. You might need a bank account to deposit the money that are donated from people worldwide and if that is not a possible thing then try to launch donations on the street or online and receive the payments in other ways possible.
Planting trees so the trees can grow up and feed others
Trees are essential for our daily life and provides a lot of benefits for us humans especially the fruits that they give and other benefits like oxygen, and trees also provide shelter for the homeless and for animals and insects and make good housing for the birds. You can run a funding program and get money so you can plant a lot of trees nearby or in most of your country if you are able to do so and wait for them to grow, and anyone can eat from them whenever they provide fruits. Trees do look good and you will make your country look even better than it is by adding more green to the environment and the view.
Provide wheelchairs for the people unable to move
Providing wheelchairs for people that are incapable of moving and have a disability is one way to help them and providing some wheelchairs for hospitals will also give them a lot of help in handling situations such as disabled people if the hospital is a small one and is not having too much money at first place, or you will simply give them more wheelchairs to deal with even if they have some themselves. You can also go to sick patients at hospital and smile to them and talk to them and make their day a little bit better by making them feel that someone is caring for them, of course if the hospital allows you to do so.
Provide medicines for the needy after asking them
Helping people by giving them their medicines is one way to keep money for them so they can buy food and water rather than medicines and this is one great way to do so. You can go to homeless people or the needy people and ask them if they take any medicines and which medicines are they so you can buy it for them unless you find a better medicine for them that does not contain any sort of alcoholic products in it which is a lot better for health. You can also provide them with essential medicines like panadol or ibuprofen, or vitamin supplements for daily intake, or both.
Finally I want to end this article by saying helping is one of the best things we can do and caring for someone is one way to show them love and help them. You may be in need for a surgery and if you help someone homeless and this person gets his life back together, he might help you too. Make friends with the homeless and poor people, the ones on the streets, because their stories are amazing to listen to and they have a lot of experience and a heart of gold.
Thank you for reading, stay happy.

I'm helping homeless people my friend. Everytime I have a supermarket, I always saw street children. I always give them food. I know they are really hungry. I felt broken everytime I saw people like them. Agree friend, we should help others especially those who badly needed even in a little way because it's a huge blessing for them already.
