What is another word for ask alms?
Pronunciation: [ˈask ˈɑːmz] (IPA) 
Asking for alms is one of the oldest forms of begging for basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. However, there are some situations where one might need to use more dignified synonyms for ask alms; seeking charity, soliciting donations, begging for aid or assistance. In some cases, people may simply ask for help without specifying a monetary ask, using phrases such as "can you spare some change?" or "do you have any resources to share?" While the act of asking for alms may be uncomfortable, it's important to remember that everyone needs help sometimes, and there's no shame in asking for assistance when needed.
