If you got that $2000 check sent to you how much could that help you?

I would use it to help that homeless guy at our local park. He is sleeping in the bushes. A young guy too. Sad to see him waste his life. I guess he has his reasons for doing it.
He seems heavy on drug use. Probably the main reason for his predicament.
How to give someone like that money without them using it for drugs? That would be the trick.
