I don't know how to help her

She was married off to a cripple. Her parents were poor and jumped at the first proposal that arrived.
If she had dreamed of Prince Charming, she knew it was not happening.

Her husband has a bad temper. He Passed Government support jobs provided for the handicap. Now he wanders off on wheels selling lotteries. Don't care about the family.

She works in our plantation. And works hard. She carries the burden of her family, including her husband.. She always feels the need to help people. Helps me with the garden after work.

I ask her how she is doing and she smiles and say "I have to be ok with what life is giving me".
That smile feels like a smile of resignation.

I am sad for her. Such a good woman. I wanted to do something for her.

She used to pay half of her earning as rent. And had to walk 4 miles to work. So I got her a good and cheaper place closer to the plantation.

I don't know what else I can do for her. She is a proud women. She won't ask for help.

Just sharing my tiny worries.

@Fertilization sometimes you look at some good people in struggle and get this sad feeling that there is not much you can do.

@Fertilization Sorry you had to. We are just human, that's all. When the time comes when we can help hope we not hesitate. That's my prayer.

@Renkon I pray the same.
