A reflection on service without rescue identity: contribution can respond to real needs without defining the people served as incomplete or the helper as their savior.
Rescue can turn another person's need into the helper's story. The helper becomes capable, the recipient becomes deficient, and the relationship narrows around those roles.
Service can be direct without requiring that hierarchy. Real needs still deserve help. The person receiving it can remain more than the problem being addressed, with choices, limits, and knowledge of their own situation.
