Eliminate the need for aid. But that would require more coin and kindness, which seem to be in short supply, and shorter still as the attacks continue.

To ask patience of them is absurd, though it is what I would like to do. What seems like a short time for me is enough time for another elfling to starve. It is... difficult.

If you think of a more elegant solution, please contact me. Over the crystals, in person, for I am at a loss.
