One thing I noticed, this middle class people who do not have enough savings, never lived in the poverty level or below poverty level, never needed to ask for money because they had/have a decent job but now some of them are in such position that they do not have a job, did not get salary for last two months, their employer is not telling them about the future of their current job and all shit. These people are in deep trouble but these same group of people are too shy to ask financial help from others too. They will not eat for two days but is not going to ask money from you. I discovered it in person.
What you said here is 100% true. A few years back, when I was still in college, we were in the same situation when we had a financial crisis but was too shy to ask for help from friends and family members. We would skip a lunch or dinner for over 3 months until we were able to sell our property and settle the debts.
With the current pandemic situation, many middle and daily workers are suffering without food and other basic needs. While many (including me) gamble away money in gambling sites, there is nothing wrong here, but I think someone who is financially healthy should help those in need at the time of crisis like these. Personally, I with my the help of my superiors have been helping some of the affected during our field inspection times here in Chennai, India. So, I have sent some sats to you and irfan_pak to help the case.
