I sure understand that. I don't have a "best friend". relative, or
anyone I could call to ask anytime for anything. The list of those who
will help is small, and I try not to bother anyone too often. And right
now, with the broken hip/pelvis, I can't even do much in the way of
busses and my backpack, at least if I want to heal, that is.
Here's hoping a Guardian Angel or whatever comes into your life.

And the same to you.

I agree. There are times when a person needs the help of another
person, whether or not they have money. Not to have anyone to call
on in need sounds like the most lonely position in the world to be
in.
Of course, it is much worse if you *are* broke. Most people I know
who scrape by on very little money are able to do so because they have
friends who are generous with their own money or time. To be broke
and alone just sounds horrific to me. And it's the reality for many
people, especially old people who can no longer work, live alone, and
have lost all their friends and family.
Wish I had an inspirational message to end this post with. :-/
