Mutual aid and support networks rings a bell.

I remember when growing up our neighborhoods used to help my mother take care of my siblings and I as she had to work two jobs to be able to sustain the basic necessities at home.

My neighbor used to give me a bath, feed me and take care of me as if I were part of her family. It created a nice bond between the un neighbors and my family.

Till this day, people continue helping each other with certain things such as taking kids to school, watching over an ill child or taking care of pets when someone isn't around. Just to mention a few of them.

I definitely believe it's possible to create a support network which would make people's lives less complicated. Helping others who are in need of it is as important as learning to receive help.
