I admit that I was surprised that any Christian would even entertain the idea of going through with it, and you should be commended. However, the bible is clear that no strings be attached. Jesus didn't say give to all who ask of you only if they're poorer than you, he said give to all. Why does it say this? I have no idea, but it does. Perhaps Jesus was a communist. That would certainly explain the "if someone takes your coat, offer him your shirt as well."
The point is that many Christians claim to not know that this passage exists, or if they do know about it they tend to ignore it or explain it away. Hence, cherry picking. I've known many Christian bank loan managers who don't work by this principle. But you're lucky I'm an honest person and won't hold you to actually sending me money, because to be honest I'd feel bad taking it even if you believed your bible commands you to give it to me.
And the fact remains that there are many, many other passages in the bible which command believers to do bizarre things (like offering up burnt sacrifices of animals, for instance) which Christians conveniently ignore.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
