What you can do for others that do not involve giving them money if you don't have any:
It is not only money that you can give, but a helping hand and being someone's support like:
washing the dishes for them
sweeping the floor for them.
asking how they are doing to see if they are alright and making them feel that they exist.
being a listening ear for them and a trustworthy shoulder to cry on.
offer advice if they need it. (some do not like unsolicited advice however so maybe ask before giving any!)
donating items to them that are used and/or unwanted instead of throwing it in the bin (this includes clothes, trinkets, toys, school or office supplies and other supplies, etc.) but see if they are willing to take those items off of your hands,
hand sewing or sewing their clothes using a machine for them
leading the blind
accompany them in places and occasions they are anxious/nervous/uncomfortable of being in like large crowds of people or the subway.
thanking them and making them feel appreciated (ex. "Thank you for what you have done for these past years, (insert name or family member's name here)" or "I am late, sorry. Thank you for waiting."
fixing their stuff for them
being there for them when they need you the most.
validating their feelings when it is fit to do so like "You're right she should not have done that. It is expected you would be sad because of what happened.
