A core value in charitable giving is to provide what you can to a truly needy individual subject to two basic limitations.
1. Give within your own means w/o increasing risk to your family or denying them basic needs.
2. Determine within the constraints of time, situational context and privacy, whether the person(s) to whom you are giving have done what they can to improve their own status before turning to others for support. h
This is common sense and doesn’t require consultation with others. Where you cannot take the time to make such inquiries, give a pro forma dollar bill and move on.
