Stealth Help - the power of helping without seeming to help

Stealth help, also known as "covert support," is a form of assistance that is given without the recipient being aware of it. This approach can be used in a variety of situations, from providing aid to individuals in need to helping organizations achieve their goals.

One example of stealth help is providing financial assistance to a family in need without them knowing the source of the funds. This allows the family to maintain their dignity and self-sufficiency, as they are not receiving charity.



Another example is in the field of business, where stealth help can be used to support small businesses and entrepreneurs. This can be done by providing funding, resources, or mentorship anonymously, allowing the business to succeed without feeling like they are receiving a handout.

Stealth help can also be used in the non-profit sector to support causes and organizations. Donations can be made anonymously, allowing the organization to continue their work without being beholden to any one individual or group.

Stealth help is not without its challenges, however. It can be difficult to measure the impact of the assistance, and there is a risk of the recipient becoming dependent on the support. It's also important to consider the potential ethical implications, such as avoiding conflicts of interest or unintentionally undermining the work of local organizations.

Stealth Help Books

The genera of Stealth Help books have taken off in an era where people are overwhelmed with self-help books. This genera book is targeted at those who find typical self-help books - with preachy quotes and advice off-putting. 

Stealth help books are a genre of literature that focus on providing assistance and support to individuals and organizations without drawing attention to oneself. These books offer strategies and techniques for providing covert support, often with the goal of empowering the recipient to become self-sufficient.

In his recent book, Diary of a Successful Loser, technology executive and author Mohan K explores his life lessons, hoping others can draw lessons from these setbacks. 

Conclusion: Stealth help can be a powerful tool for making a positive impact in the world. By providing assistance without drawing attention to ourselves, we can empower individuals and organizations to achieve their goals and build a better future for all.

Image
This week I got a WhatsApp message in a university alumni group about a GoFundMe page created by Aruna, a batchmate that talked about her husband’s suicide after he fell victim of a cryptocurrency scam. In the GoFundMe page, Aruna went on to explain  how her husband was an  “unfortunate victim of a cryptocurrency scam where he was skillfully manipulated into parting with our entire life savings. Through the shameless, methodical and savvy deception of these heartless cyber criminals, they utilized a “pig butchering” scheme and managed to convince him to pull every single penny out of our life savings, including all of our retirement funds. There is nothing left in our accounts, except debt and loans to pay.”   Video viewpoint by Author, Mohan Aruna’s family is the story of a typical middle-class American dream.
