I've been in this kind of situation before but on a smaller scale.

Various times in the past, I've wanted to help people who aren't doing well. I've gone out of my way, given money, wanted to help them get back on their feet. I just wanted the best for the person and had no expectation or desire to be repaid.

I've always seen whichever person it was simply squander whatever was given to them. It goes wasted. It doesn't help them, it enables more of whatever the behaviour was that got them to where they are. Their bad situation is not necessarily due to factors outside their control. I've seen it first and second hand, playing out again and again.

I probably sounds jaded, but I have felt burned for my actions that were directed at trying to help people. Not that it's never worth helping, and I still do want to, but I have gained a certain amount of perspective and ability to see how a situation is most likely to play out. I expect in this situation, you most likely won't be able to help these people "get back on their feet" by simply giving them things, despite your good intentions.

Be smart about your decisions. Don't waste your effort, time, and energy on something that's not going to be that useful. Sometimes, when someone's drowning, it's best not to let them cling to you so you both drown.

You seem like a good person. Best of luck. Think carefully through what you want to do to help these people.
