It sounds like your gift went to a legit person. You never said she asked for the money or was holding a sign. There was a guy in Lincoln, NE that stood at an intersection near 56th and Hwy 2 with a sign "will work for food". I saw him there several different times. Once when a cop car came near he took off running and got into a brand new pick up and drove away!
May God bless you!

iowabelle....good on ya!!! Sometimes we need to "listen" to that little voice...AND pay attention. ;)
We don't have a lot of homeless people here, but there are some. A couple of weeks ago, on my way to a quilting day, I passed a fellow looking much as you described this young woman. My quilting day is the one day each month that I treat myself to a Starbucks. That day I got two coffees...one for me and one for him. Plus a scone for him. He was so thankful, I knew it was appreciated. And it lifted my heart to know I had made his day a little easier.
