Mutual aid is different from charity. Have they been trying to support you in the ways that they are able?

I won't dispute that, but this is someone I knew in real life, not just an Internet acquaintance.
I can't fully discount the possibility they're deceiving me, but it would be out of character for them to do so.

This is charity, and is ok as long as you process it as such.

It's not really a mutual situation.
