Is it permissible for me to secretly place a sum of money in my mother's bag or among her cash as assistance, knowing that she refuses any financial help I offer her?

There is no harm in placing money in your mother's purse without her knowledge; this is an act of righteousness for which you will be rewarded. Her refusal is usually due to her compassion for you and her belief that you are more in need of the money.
