Will you help a friend that is addicted to drugs and homeless with cash ?

What would you do if a friend asked you for money? This friend is homeless (which you just found out about) and has been addicted to crack for 20 years. ..😪.
This is the reason she is now homeless. For me, it is sad that things are going so bad... I haven't heard from her in five years. And she accused me of having an affair with her husband 😄😐 I want to help her - but I'm afraid that something will happen to her by having a drug overdose -with the money I send her. I want to know what is the right thing to do?

That’s difficult , I would buy her food and things she needs but I wouldn’t send money, that’s what I did when I had friend who would take drugs to cope and because he hung out with people who did. We are still friends and he’s got a room in a flat two years ago and I’m hoping he’s making better decisions. I wouldn’t give up on her , addiction is an illness you can help her without giving her money. Hopefully if she realises One day she has a problem she might get the professional help she needs. I had a cousin who was in the same situation too but he died unfortunately of a drug overdose when I was 18 and my aunty would give him money all the time.
