I'm not going to lend my co-worker money to go to his grandmother's funeral in india
That feels very sad. Why won't you lend him money?
His family is not wealthy, I'm sure it would be very difficult for him to come up with the money on his own.
It feels like your friend really needs funds to go to his grandma's funeral and even though you do not have a responsibility to help, I still recommend that you do no matter how small you are willing to give. This person is grieving and they might really need the help you can give.
I'm not lending him the money but I have no problem with him going to India.
And I am not going to force you to lend him money. I was just saying that your friends and coworkers have limited people they can trust and get help from, so helping out your coworker will be beneficial for you as he may be able to reciprocate the help when you will be the one to need help in the future.
