      2 questions about monk’s necessities:

      Is it acceptable that the ordained one requests some basic necessities such as food, drink, medicine, shelter, blankets, reasonable form of transport due to weakness or health reason?

      How should one approach a monk or nun if one wants to offer necessities to them?

      There are definite conditions that allow a bhikkhu to ask for help.

      These would be when he is ill, or in danger, or when he has been formally offered help.
