You and I do our parts by raising the social conciousness through posts like these, but there is much more to be done, and time is a crucial element. Sophisticated, civilized societies mean that survival rates are better - we need to take responsibility for those lives, and that means helping everyone achieve what they are able given their abilities. That often means giving people with extra issues a bit of a helping hand - and giving time is a wonderful way to do it. Tiessa, it’s great to see a new treatment of this topic.

I must have made a mistake when sending this to you, I intended the subject to be, "The Non-Profit Challenge", which is what I referred to in the post itself. Thank you for the great intro Vint.

There are many sims and groups dedicated to helping people. The Path of Support tries to presents some on the variety of the 200 or so groups in-world dedicated to heathcare support. The Path includes groups dealing with abuse, addiction, health, mental health, bereavement, and disabilities. The largest group has almost 1000 members, but most are much smaller, with their own unique focus and perspective. Feel free to walk the path and explore the rest of Healthinfo Island and its neighbors....and spread the word. I think many folks in need simply do not know these sorts of things are available.

Sometimes we do it collectively and formally with groups that we call "non-profits" and more commonly we do it in our daily life in small ways by listening, friending, supporting, and connecting across the ether.
