And when a person of humble origins tries to refuse help, tell them to pass it on to someone who might need it. This way they have the option of paying it forward or keeping it for themselves without loosing face. The only way to psychologically survive this crisis is to be there for others.

I lost two part time incomes that added to my retirement check that pays my bills down here. In order to replace them I started a small store out of my home. We are in an area that is on the outskirts of the local town and it is quite a hassle to go into town. We are limited to one car, one person and once a day. Plus having to get out of our car, walk through a tent where an unknown type of mist is sprayed on us and or temp is taken. So my husband and I have opened an abarrotes and sell, soda, candy, chips, beans, rice, some basic veggies and fruits, tortillas, etc.. We try to keep our prices competitive with the prices in the stores within town and it helps the people living on this side of the road block get what they need without having to go into town everyday.

When you have to go out to buy groceries when at the checkout consider paying for “locals” groceries that maybe in line in front or behind you!
You Dont have to make a fuss or draw attention just quietly tell the cashier that you will look after paying the bill for the basket of grocery for the people that need a little help
Be quietly polite and humble and allow the recipient to just be thankful and accept the help from a fellow human and not feel embarrassed or pitied!!
