What is the most you have given to a homeless person?

Here is a story;

I was in Egypt once and there was a kid, about 5 years old. I gave him about 10 pounds (2$) and walked away, he followed me for minutes and said:

"Uncle, would you take the money you gave me and buy me food from the grocery?", I asked him "why don't go yourself and buy something?", he cried and he said he was hungry but he could never go into groceries and that he'd get beat if he was to be "seen" there.

I bought him food and asked him a few questions, he didn't answer most of them. Turns out that all of the 'street kids' (they are abundant in Egypt) are part of the ugliest form of slavery. I was shocked and started telling people left and right, most of the time their response is something along these lines "Yeah, news flash: we know". It's sickening.
