salaams to all...

i had come to know an elderly uncle who i gave rides home from the masjid as he lived locally in someone else's house. i gave him a small amount of sadaqa here and there because i came to know through talking to him that he was relatively poor, looking for work and he was from abroad. then the other day he asked me to give him money for plane ticket to his home country. i pretended i did not hear it and just gave him some money from my wallet. i am not poor alhumdulillah but i did not want to pay for his plane ticket as i have my own expenses and any extra money i would like to give to other charities. what should i have done? am i right to feel bad about the episode?

jazakallah khair for any help on this...
