An example would be not too long ago I was competing at a local rodeo. A girl that was also registered to compete had a broken bridle and no replacement. I've met her before and I knew that she didn't come from any sort of money and most of her equipment was hand me down. The event was small and the facility didn't have a lot of spare equipment and so I gave her one of my spares so that she could compete. She wanted to give it back afterwards but I let her keep it since that stuff isn't cheap. It was a small gesture on my part but made a huge difference for her. I didn't expect anything in return and she didn't give me anything other than a thank you, but that was perfectly fine. You give what you are able to give when it's necessary. I knew what she needed and so that's what I gave her, nothing more, nothing less. If I didn't she wouldn't have competed that day but she would have worked after that to buy new equipment so that she could compete another day, and I knew that, but I wanted her to compete that day and everyone has bad luck sometimes. What you can't expect is that the federal government can make those types of decisions without it becoming inefffient or making people dependent.
