It seems exactly as HaLeiVi describes it. I saw on one of YW advertisers websites, Yeshuos Rashbi. They describe that Rebbe Shimon promised whoever increases the simcha on his Yartzeit he will increase simcha in their lives. This is because the Zohar describes when he was about to leave this world he gathered around his talmidim and told them “This is my greatest day of joy”, because he was about to receive his portion in the next world.

It seems this is a very high and special day. For sure to donate Tzedakah and increase simcha on his yartzeit is a good thing.

I am sure Hashem will help. The idea of a tzadik is to learn from them and their teachings and to bring us closer to Hashem. Rashbi was from the biggest tzaddikim that came to this world and lit up the world with the Torah he taught. It should be a z’chus for all those that need!
