My great uncle left a load of masonic stuff but my dad returned it to his lodge before I could have a rummage through it.
My parents are religious and took a dim view of it.
Some of that stuff was pretty cool - it was a part of my great uncles life I would have loved to asked him about and I didn’t find out about it until he passed. Sad stuff.
The right answer is “yes”. Some cash in the moment is a nice thing to do, and will alleviate an immediate want or need potentially.
Donation to an organisation that will help the problem long term is a worthwhile thing to fund.
Why not give a man a fish to eat while you’re teaching them to fish for themselves, if you’re in a position to do so?
