The situation parallels the "good hearted naturalist" phenomena of the North country. Well intentioned persons buy a big sack of bird food in October and feed the friends 'til the bag runs out in January. By now, some migratory species have resisted their urge to fly South because of a ready food supply. The naturalist doesn't buy another bag, so the birds may starve or not survive a migration begun too late.
John D. would know better, but like Jerry suggests... "fire and forget" assistance may not be in order (although better than nothing at all). A more helpful approach may be to give less initially, but resolve to dribble in a few bucks every year or so for the foreseeable future (or perhaps for the rest of your life).
