It's a matter of optics.

If you said you gave $1,000 to some guy you met in England .... I wouldn't think twice about it.

If you gave $1,000 to my neighbor and I saw what they did with that money, I would feel funny about it maybe even a bit jealous ... and some people would get mad about it and ask why you didn't give them $1,000 instead.
