As an aside, if this is your genuine response to a man in his hour of
need... if this is who you choose to be... maybe it's better that nobody
else has replied.

I am by no means religious, but the point of "There but for the grace of
God go you or I" is far from lost on me.

I have a phrase of my own. "Politics has no place in an emergency." That
includes personal politics, i.e. grudges. I would like to think that we are
all better, here, than to let a man starve and die over an old debt or
argument. Luke is prone to a bit of a temper; I think we all should long
ago have learned to forgive a few words in the wrong place from him. He
means well, even if he is not always the best-spoken amongst us.

Alain, if you have the means, even if you are uncomfortable giving in your
own name, I would ask you to consider giving in mine. I will be up-front
that I cannot hope to repay you, but I am a strong believer in Karma, and
that you will be rewarded in other ways if you would offer what you can to
Luke. If you must insist on refusing, and it is out of past misdeeds and
trespasses rather than a lack of means, I hope you feel some weight in your
heart over the matter -- as well you should. We can all be better than the
voice you espouse, and we should all strive to be, most especially so at
this time of year.
