That's when it really counts. Let me give you an example.
I have a stepson who lives in the Knoxville area of Tennessee. He drives for a company much like Uber. Naturally the recent high gas prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its consequences are hurting his bottom line. He'd called his father before and let him know what the impact and his frustration with it were.
Yesterday he transported somebody to just a few miles from the Wears Valley fire. It was expanding quickly at the time due to high winds. An evacuation was mandated, and he got caught in the traffic. I got a call while his father was sleeping and heard a few details, like how it took him over an hour to go just a mile in the congestion and smoke.
His father talked to him later in the day to make sure his son was home safe, which he was. But once he'd dropped his customer off, he returned to the area people were evacuating from, and gave rides to several carfuls of them to help them flee. He never charged them a penny.
That's the kind of action which matters.
