Exactly correct, there is the story in Mark 12:43 "Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." which a lot of people learned in Sunday school that teaches the "size" of the gift doesn't count as much as the "sacrifice" of the gift.
Some people internalized that to mean that gifts without sacrifice were worthless, but that was, in my opinion, the wrong take away. Every gift and every kindness has value, regardless of how hard it is to give. Its impact however can be moderated somewhat by the amount of sacrifice behind it.
And as most people also recognize that failing to provide the kindness when the sacrifice is minimal, is its own kind of problem.
