What is the most amount of money you have ever given to a homeless person?

Question

Spontaneously, of course, not like United Way donations or other charities.

Answer 1

20 i think

Answer 2

i dont give them money, i go get them hot food an drink..  

Answer 3

20 bucks....seriously..last Saturday I gave a homeless dude my last 20 dollars.  

Answer 4

None.

I'd usually buy them something to eat.

Who knows what they will do with that money?

Answer 5

I never give money spontaneously to individuals in the street. Instead I'll buy people food or drinks if they want them. If they insist on money, you know that they're more likely than not going to spend the money on alcohol or drugs. That's not to say of course that all homeless people have an addiction - in Liverpool there are a lot of street addicts, so it's difficult to determine whether you'll be helping or hindering them coping with their problem.

Answer 6

$20. but that doesn't count the amount of money i've spent on food and clothing for them.

Answer 7

I'm usually broke myself but I have given my very lat $50 bill to a homeless man who did NOT ask for it.  

Answer 8

2 dollars with those gold coins

Answer 9

a million.

Answer 10

My wife and I gave this starving guy $100.00 on the Atlantic City boardwalk a couple of months ago. Granted I'd just cleaned up at the ShowBoat's Casino (Thanks Showboat, third time..Oh Yeah!) and we were pretty flush with the cash. Poor guy was eating out of the trash can and people were yelling at him. We hugged him too, I think the human contact meant more to him than the money.

Answer 11

ive never given any money to a homless person because there are very few where i live and they have never asked me for money.

Answer 12

I never give homeless people money, I go to the closest gas station or store and get a bottle of water and a couple of items in food and then go back and give it to them. Probably about 20 bucks in food and clothes.
