Foogie88 - Now that's what it's all about my friend. The word karma seems to come up so often seemingly used loosely purposed, but if I was asked to capture its power in meaning, I would point to this instance driven by your actions. Karma is nature's score card. It's a correction mechanism, which offers anyone, at anytime, no matter who they are, or what they have or haven't done in their lives without judgement, to experience the pure bliss of helping make the life, or lives of others better, without prejudice or self thought. But it doesn't stop there, as one might believe with a single outcome or event in time, as it may appear. It ripples further, to those for example, who you initially reached out to. Their reactions, their considerations, their momentary thoughts and feelings are all significant touchpoints which have effects beyond what anyone may understand or imagine. So in a nutshell, that's what Karma is. It's one big score card, and we are all players in the game of life to have experiences. The goal in the end is to have built up as much positive Karma, as one possibly can willfully, to have fully learned the lessons of what life in the physical domain is all about, so that one can ascend to the next more spiritual plane of existence.
Although money is known to be wrapped up with the sin of greed, Karma comes into play, as we see our vested seeds bring hope, and better yet, something real, tangeable, to those like your friend, who's faces and families we will never know, but that's the beauty of karma, it's the ripple in time that lifts lives in ways we don't fully always understand, or are ever aware of. That's the beauty of Karma. It's always there, and up to each individual to embrace it.
