Thank you for the link to this post! I think when someone with a like-mind of someone else helps them, the communication is more effective and it’s an all-around better way to help out. Like veterans helping veterans. When someone with similar views on life and are dealing with the same thing as the person they’re helping, really, the help is reciprocated. The volunteer learns about things and addresses issues that they maybe never thought about. Giving love is very similar to receiving love.
