Sorry, but no. "Affect" (which I bolded in the quote) should be "effect" as used in the sentence as written. For "affect" to be correct, the sentence should be something like:
"When I gave you $50, I affected your ability to . . ."
or
"Giving you $50 affected your ability to . . ."
or
"By giving you $50, I affected your ability to . . ."
For "affect" to work, you need something like:
"To affect your ability to . . ., I need to give you $50."
