		 genuine help that is not a sacrifice on the part f the person giving it, yes.  There are a number of values in the world that are not monetary, and I certainly value some of my friends and their children to help them out if I ever thought I needed it.  It is important to me that they do well, and if I can assist with that without putting my kids to bed hungry, I would, and have, done the same for them.  There's no shame involved at all.
