“Thank you for saving our House”
The nice lady who lived by the place that burned Monday brought me a cobbler and a very sweet note. I’m glad I was out at the time she brought it by, as I’m not always felicitous with such emotions. Still, I very much appreciate knowing that it meant something to her.

Well, then......if it's infelicitous to you, ship the cobbler up here. I'll felicitate it with some frozen custard on top.
I’m too distinct for anonymity; everyone always remembers. Being forced to confront such gratitude might make me uneasy, though. I was just one of a band of friends doing this together.
I shared the cake with them, though. I took it up to the station with a note that they should all enjoy it.
Help should be human to human. It doesn't have to be anonymous.
Depends on the nature of the help. If it's charity, it should be anonymous, otherwise it loses the charity aspect from the donor and becomes obligation for the recipient.

Consider that while it may make you uncomfortable, it's a definite good that people express gratitude, it being so essential to happiness. Accept it as a burden if that helps.
