I know this takes faith, and some people will believe it or totally try to rely on what they can make happen by manipulating and using people. regardless of what she thinks, she will have to discipline herself to be able to provide for her kid, you helping her out is just enabling her from working or having faith. Harsh truth!

I agree. I would also add that if you have the money to give that's one thing. I can't imagine you do being in school with 2 kiddos. A simple "I'm sorry but I just don't have it right now" should get you out of it and maybe be alright with your friend that's incarcerated. Now if you're not very close to that friend, maybe just a no would do.
