Jan, LHG said that they used to approach people at the KH who had jobs. They had envelopes asking employed people to put cash into the envelopes for the pioneers, and other under employed witnesses. Not only cash, but rides, and other things like that.
Back when I was in, I got another brother a job were I was working doing 'on call sub contracting' work (dont want to get to specific). About a year later he was crying about no money and going to be evicted. Sure enough everyone starts getting pulled aside and told about an envelope to help a family in need. One of the elders with a brain pulled me aside and asked how it was we worked at the same place and I was doing fine but the other brother was going to get evicted? Told him because I worked and the other brother didnt want to work. Work calls with a job and I was on it, ready to go when they called, everything already in the truck just tell me what and where. The other brother would need to 'think about it', plan out his week, and no joke, look at where he could find breakfast in the area of the job. By the time he was part way done considering the job and would call in with more questions, someone else had the job.
Sure enough the brother pissed off nearly everyone. Received the envelope of cash. Decided he and his family could use a vacation because of the stress and they hadn't had a vacation in a while, and went out of town for a week. Got evicted. Changed halls soon after, probably to repeat the process.
