I guess if they found themselves in a similar situation then I’d *want* them to ask me for help. I have a pretty easy time saying no to people and wouldn’t feel bad about sympathetically rejecting a request if that felt like the right call, and maybe that’s not the norm, idk. But in any case, I offered one-off gifts, and it was always understood that way.
