If a sudden misfortune were to hit a young member, the Youth Congregation would immediately respond from its funds. In the case where the Congregation did not have sufficient resources available at that moment, an appeal was made to the members at their meetings to help out.
Art. 10. If the Congregation did not have sufficient funds to meet this expenditure, it will turn to the charity of its members who will make it their duty to respond to this call by providing generously the quota that will be fixed for each one with wisdom and moderation. The congregants who are absent will be taxed as if they were present.
