If Someone Pledged Charity to a Specific Poor Person, May They Redirect It to Another?

Can I change the recipient after promising tzedakah to a specific person?

This discussion examines designated charity, changing beneficiaries, commitments, and donor responsibility. It keeps the original Torah question at the center and connects it to the mapped real-life setting without adding a ruling, factual claim, or modern conclusion that is not present in the canonical source.
