You get noticeably few people helping out who are what we would consider working poor and like to think of themselves as 'middle class'. No surprise really, its the same with snobs. You rarely find a snob who was born into money but there's plenty of working poor snobs.
I agree 100% there

I didn't mean that the financially viable weren't supportive, just that those that aren't financially viable need to be thought of for the reasons you mentioned earlier, we all like to think it could never happen but it does
