Hi Azadehruh, I guess you missed the point where I said "I was 14...", at that point, I couldn't do anything more than showing empathy (despite the fact that I was actually going to help but it didn't work out).

Right now, of course I help them any chance I get and don't get away by showering 'just' empathy.

But my point here was to focus on the emotional gap rather than the financial one. Though it won't be wrong to say that somewhere, they go hand in hand.
