If they should somehow, falter, however, or not even try to readjust his/her current deplorable situation and resort back to begging on the streets, then I would curse them for wasting my time, money, and emotional involvement into trying to help them.

Are you serious? If you dangled $500 in front of a bum and told him to shower, shave and get a hotel room, you
really think he is going to do all that? Or do you think he is going to say whatever it takes to get the money and then do whatever the fuck he wants with it? Are you really that naive?
Also, what is this nonsense about teaching a bum how to cook? What good is knowing how to cook if you live under a bridge?
