If it's very urgent and really an emergency then why not there are times for gambling and a time to do good deeds, you see good deeds go a long long way, and it's only one month and you can always find a way to get money if you have a good job or a business, I can live without gambling for a month because I am not that addicted to gambling that I will let other people suffer in exchange for my gambling activity.
That's the point but I think for gambling fanatics or let's put it to "regulars" that's not their way of thinking. They'll for sure leave some for their gambling, but way worse if the person asking for help really need it right away and haven't got a little. Bless are those who have the same mindset as you ser!
