Women on wyckoff asking for money for train ticket

I just encountered a woman on Linden and Wyckoff Ave who told me she’s leaving an abusive relationship and asked me for money for a train ticket to Long Island to see her mom. I’m not sure if anyone else has encountered her today/another time or if it’s legit. She had long brown hair, round dark sunglasses, I think a white puffer, looked young like 25ish. I live in the neighborhood and it was my first time seeing her. Hope she’s ok
