... but, in big cities, if you give money to everyone who asks for it you can go broke.

I'm curious, was this in a city, small town, rural area? My impression is that in small towns people are more willing to help one another out. I think its a lot more personal. In a big city, there are too many problems, and really all you can do is refer people to specialized places that can help them.

It is good to hear about things like this.
