Kind of angry about a messed up thing

A friend of mine was short on her rent she visited me a month ago after work and she was crying saying she going to be homeless this and that and asked to barrow money. I dont like to lend anything but gave in and loaned her 500 for a month well since then she has been ghosting me and not replying to my texts or even coming around. Its not about the money all the way i know her for 5 years so kind of feel betrayed as well i am out the 500 bucks so its like a double stab in the back. I am angry about it.
.
Any input guys?

yes, you did a beautful thing..but there are consequences. When asked for money tell them to ask their family first. If that's not working for them either say NO or give money as a gift. That is, if one has the money and can afford to help a friend
