What would you do for a friend in need?

These days, that’s a pretty real question – not hypothetical. In the past week, I learned that a father of one of my son’s friends lost his job. In the past month, several friends lost their jobs. In the past year, nearly every household I know has suffered a layoff.

But layoffs aren’t the only undercurrents at work right now. There’s a failing real estate market too … people are losing their homes, selling their homes or otherwise trying to wiggle out from the crushing pressure of property bought high. It’s staggering.

How many people do you know in one of these situations?

There’s a must-read story over at Real Moms Guide. It’s a tearjerker that really explores generousity, friendship and what it means to truly help someone in these tough times. I suggest you check it out.
