Meet the author
Written by someone who has sat with the person, not just the case
Sophia Razon is a French-Israeli writer and educator whose understanding of charity was formed through years of volunteering and service — in conversations with people facing poverty, homelessness and hardship, and alongside families, volunteers and people rebuilding their lives.
Living between France, Israel and Switzerland, she encountered very different relationships with money, responsibility and generosity — and a way of giving, especially in Israel, where helping another person was simply part of life.

What the sector is saying
This book changed how I see the person across the desk. I used to hand out help. Now I look for the human being first — and the help follows from there. The whole relationship changed.
The chapter on poverty as an emotional experience, not just a financial one, should be required reading for everyone entering the sector. It would have saved me years of giving the right thing the wrong way.
Warm, honest and quietly profound. It names what charity is really for — trust, humility, human connection — and then shows you how to practise it without losing yourself in the process.
for everyone who serves for a living
Understand the person. Reconnect with the meaning of the work.
