As you review your partner's Profile and learn about them during the course of the year you may notice some problems that are not addressed in your Financial plan. Or maybe the funds available are simply not sufficient to meet the needs of your partner.
For example: Shelter improvement (fix a leaky roof, repair a wall, etc.)

Send note explaining what kind of additional help you'd like to provide.
For help of additional family members or others, the best response may be to create a new partnership. You can 'Expand your circle of partnership' (see link at right), or perhaps you can help locate someone to become a partner.
