Quickwrite -- Selfless Sacrifice

I have a friend called Chester Wu, however, we've never met each other face to face before, but we've known each other for like 5 years and talked through skype for many times. His family financial situation is not very good, and his family has to beware of their spending every time they buy something.
This just happened a few days ago, durning the lunar new year break, I got like total 20000 NT dollars through the red envelopes given by my family. When we talked about our benefits from getting red envelopes, he said that he only got like 5000 NT dollars (total). I was like, "oh, ok...", and he told me that his family may not able to afford his spending of the tuition of cram school. Then, he asked me to share some of my money (including the benefits from getting red envelopes years ago) with him or he would borrow it and gave back to me one day. However, I've planned to save these money in order to buy a better guitar and other equipment that can help me making music or band practicing with higher efficiency. At that moment, I was thinking that should I help my 5-year-known friend but never meet face-to-face or not? I wanted to help him, but after a long time of deliberation, I decided not to help him by giving my money or "lending" my money. Although we know each other well, however, we still didn't meet each other face-to-face, how do I know that your family financial situation is really that bad? There's also a risk. Well, he still chats with me a lot by facebook often, we are still good friends... kind of?? I'm glad to make such choice.
