It depends on the situation.
Perhaps I could teach someone to do something more efficiently that would save them more than a thousand dollars would.
Some people are being helped in many parts of the world with micro-loans.
It goes back to the concept of empowering people. Information is power. Money can buy power, or a limited amount of information.
Usually, people are helped more with education
Namaste.

The people that really need the help are the people you can help with words. Words are something that everyone has - money is not. It always means so much more when you give someone good advice and words of encouragement instead of a check for $1000.

Most people, don't want that much advise. If a person has a family and no groceries, or needs help with their utilities, to keep their family warm, if their kids need a warm coat, shoes gloves etc. then I would say that the money would be worth more.

The money would help instantly and for the short time it lasted but the words would take time and last forever

Personally I think words mean more than the value of money.

Depends on the words. I mean, say the words were the numbers to the winning powerball ticket...
