ex #3777 "He gave me what little money he had on him."

ex #3783 "Even though he didn't have much he gave me all that he had" or"Even though he didn't have much he gave it all to me"

ex #3784 "Even though a woman she fought bravely" or "Even though she was only a woman she fought bravely"

ex #3787 "Even though he was only a child he was brave" or "He was brave even though only a child."

These sound more natural to me.
