My opinion is no. They can then use it to buy drugs or alcohol, which is unfortunately likely.
Maybe you could donate to some homeless shelter?
Or maybe, you could try asking if you could buy them some food instead.
EDIT: this was a test. This comment is a copy of an original comment on this post. This copy received 90% downvotes while the original received 36% downvotes. This is evidence that the majority of Lemmy would not give money to help a homeless person despite being an ultra liberal (democrat, not leftist) social media platform. Hmmโฆ
Did you really think that people wouldn't realize that you copied the other comment? Of course you'll be down voted.
