Neighbours Call It “Helping”—But Are Your Goods Really Missing From Your Home? Have you ever exchanged a reset with a neighbour and left wondering—really helped, or just replaced something? In recent weeks, locals in our area have been sharing a puzzling trend: thanking one another for “helping,” yet lamenting that key household goods seem conspicuously absent from their homes. What’s really going on when neighbours call it “helping” but your cupboards, drawers, or toolbox still feel incomplete? ### The Illusion of “Helping” Without Real Solutions At first glance, gestures like “Want me to bring over a few pots?” or “Let me give you that lawnmower—it’s brand new!” sound kind and generous. Neighbours helping out is a hallmark of tight-knit community spirit. But when the items provided don’t fully satisfy ongoing needs—especially replacing essential goods consistently—it can feel like a temporary fix rather than real assistance.
