When my dad died suddenly, my widowed mom couldn't afford my college tuition, so Morrie and his friend Jake Garber, my dad's boss, and my aunt and uncle, all pitched in. Morrie was the driving force behind it all, though. I did not come to him for help. He just came to me one day and said, "You can't afford this," and that he would make it happen. It was a powerful lesson in community for me: When you are in a real one, never, ever say to someone in need: "Call me if you need help." If you want to help someone, just do it.
