The main word here is 'need'. A person just trying to get money to support his/her wrongdoing and continue in that way is totally different from one who truly needs and wants help to change, better themselves etc. There was a family truly in need and I gave them money. Found out the money was being spent on luxury items, items to support their habits, and not on food, heat etc. for the family. After that, when I was told the baby needed diapers and food, I bought diapers and food and gave that to them. The asking ceased!
