There is the offering of help.
The offer made on your own terms.
It’s easy to make the offer.
There’s the request for help.
That comes from them.
A little harder, but you still have control over the how.
Then there’s the request for help that is hard.
The type of request you would rather not do.
And you do it anyway.
Otherwise, they’d be stuck.
Because they would suffer great difficulty.
Your small inconvenience will avoid a major one for them.
So you help.
Because you can.
