If a friend of yours asked you for a little help how much info about his/her situation would you want before you would do it. Assuming its an amount of money you would be comfortable with lending (giving?)

Gift her the money with the advice to use it as a down payment on a new apartment and tell her if she does that you'll help her out for a few months with rent.
See, you already know the info. Thats your curse. If you're not going to like the answers, don't ask the questions.
Generally, always be careful about lending money to a friend. It does change things. Friends get rid of friends they owe money to. You make them uncomfortable.
