He's not asking for charity and you sound like a nosy housewife assuming what his life is like.
It seems the only reason you want to do this is to tell stories about what a baller dude you are for helping this poor dude out.
If you wanted to help you would have asked him man to man and not broadcast it.
Mind your own business.

If you like the guy and you can afford it give it to him but think of it as if you just set it on fire. If he pays you back great but don’t expect it or hassle him.
Great advice.

Could lack of extra funds mean he’s just being frugal with the money he has on hand now until the shutdown ends? And if you feel the need to give him money, do it from the kindness of your heart and don’t expect repayment.
And really is this event a must do thing?

As long as you’re comfortable at the possibility of not being repaid.

Never loan a friend money and never go into business with family.

He should have never had 4 children if he could not afford too
Not your problem op. He's proven to be irresponsible already by reproducing

If you consider it a loan, you're a dumbass. If he pays it back, it's lagniappe.

I gave 1000 to a friend a few years ago after he was laid off and shared with me he wasn't sure how he'd pay his electric bill. Don't expect or want it back really.

I know this story is BS but if you want to help someone you give them the money. You don't loan it.

I'd agree if you had any inkling of his situation, which of course you do not. A coastie with 4 kids, must not be easy making ends meet. Naturally, if he and everyone he works with left the CG for the private sector at double the salary, he'd be much better off, but where would we be?

The dude has been without pay one day. Today is the first paycheck missed.
A better point is that he may be without pay for several months.
OP, he probably appreciates the offer but doesn't want to take on extra bills or debts given the short term uncertainty.
Just pay for the specific event and tell him you appreciate his friendship and his service.
If he hesitates tell him he can have your family over for a BBQ as payback once the government gets their heads out of their arse.

Just give it as a gift and if he pays it back then awesome. Loans between friends are the first step towards making an enemy.

You need to think from your heart and not from the OT. What feels good to you?

If you are able and willing to help another, then do it; do not expect repayment, and do not speak of it to others.

Been paying for one friend's place (or most of it) for at least 3 years, and have been helping another friend stave off foreclosure for nearly a year now.

Don’t listen to the dumbasses on here with their “living check to check” bullshite. They never met the guy.
If the 1k makes your daughter happy by having her friend there, it is worth it.

In any way is it appropriate for me to offer to loan him a $1000 or something to help get through this period ?
It's never wrong to offer help.

loan
Weigh this word carefully. He's missed a single paycheck and is in hard times. He's probably not likely to pay you back. If you do decide to loan him money, understand that there is a very real possibility that this is a gift rather than a loan.
By all means, help the guy out if you can, just understand that he might not be able to pay you back.
