If it wasn't for the fact that I'm completely broke, and unable to afford anything right now, I would have gladly contributed @ $50..... The fact is, though, how do you get the cash to him? Money Order?
That being said, I know for a fact that he can get a job in Boston, at least temporarily. Also, If worst comes to worse, he can stay out of a homeless shelter for a while as he works. --It is a scary environment, but it is shelter. What else can I say, I wish him the best of luck.
