I am sorry I am not sure if this is the right section for this, but since it says ‘Life’ and relationships I figured I can post this here.
One of my teachers from high school got in touch with me out of the blue after 10 years and I was saddened to find that he is suffering from a difficult health situation that requires an expensive medical procedure in pakistan. He found it very difficult to explain that he was falling short of funds to finance his operation, but he got the point across.
I have known him to be a dedicated teacher and I want to reach out to my classmates to help him out, but (sad as it is) a nagging voice from the back of my head wants me to oversee all the funds handed over to the hospital so that every one is at peace that the money is not misused or unaccounted for. If I were in Pakistan, I would have personally ensured this but sitting far away on the other side of the globe, I am wondering what is the best way to go about this? None of my classmates are in Pakistan atm. I don’t want my lack of trust get in the way of helping someone.
