Secure the bag in silence.
Do your charity quietly.
If you're helping someone out with food, electricity, fees... preserve their dignity. The entire TL doesn't need to know.

Moreover, they don't need a condescending lecture. Do what you need to with positive intentions & move on.
It's difficult to explain but some ideas, plans and ambitions lose their power when you end up sharing it widely.

You can come on here & say "I'm writing a book" & in 20min you have a debate going on about why you shouldn't.

Not everyone wants what's best for you.
One thing that really needs to die here is the competition style charity of "I have xx to give to someone"

... & you have a flood of comments from desperate, vulnerable people who really need help.

We have a 30% unemployment rate, finding someone isn't hard.
Last thing which also needs to die... is the entitlement accompanying charity.

"Why didn't he give to xx?"
"It's only 20% of his salary"
"Surely she can afford to give more?"
"Why healthcare and not education?"

Being an armchair critic is pretty easy.
