Today at Modest Needs, compassionate persons whose lives have been touched by kindness pass that kindness on by pooling just a bit of what we can afford to share and using those funds to keep struggling families from entering the cycle of poverty. We do this by helping as many persons as we can to afford unexpected expenses like those we’ve all encountered before – expenses which, though small, can easily force a family over the edge and onto the street. And we never ask for anything in return.
