Most of these people will barely make enough to pay their bills every month, even one month would tear into their savings if they had it and for what? Layoffs will happen anyways by the looks of it. Though it's easy for me to say, I work as a freelancer; so managing the money streams is part of my job @BM That's not selfish at all, you helped out somebody and in return you used the skills gained to find other work. Everybody walked away happy. Most freelancers pick up the occasional charity work for similar reasons. No, I would not do it.

I was having difficulty finding a job in the last recession. So I found a non-profit that needed programming help, I offered my services for free, they were happy to oblige and that experience later helped me get another full-time job.
