For example, a couple weeks ago, I drove to Red Deer and spent the afternoon fixing broken smart phones and laptops for my sister in law who could not have otherwise afforded to get them fixed.
I don't doubt the charitable side to your nature, but are you not giving on one side and taking on the other, in terms of lowering a person's self worth by being blunt and sarcastic to them? I can see this being particularly harmful when dealing with children.
