Help people Quote by Lisa Renee Jones
““Like you do,” I say. “You help people, Chris, and I love that about you. You’re helping Mark even though he doesn’t deserve it from you.” “I’ve found that in life, the times we need help are often the times we deserve it the least.” “Sometimes people like Rebecca deserve it and they never have it.””
