If I had $300, I would let my best friend choose somewhere she would like to go for a weekend vacation. My best friend has three kids, twins that are three years old and a little boy that is one years old. The twins were born pre-mature, they have weak lungs, and get sick alot. The one year old was born healthy. My best friend has alot on her hands, she's a stay at home mom, she's married, her husband works two jobs. My best friend is unable to go anywhere because it's hard to find a babysitter that would watch three kids that are all around the same age, plus the kids are not use to staying with anyone else but her. So if she did have a babysitter, the kids would cry the entire time she was not around. Her husband works alot, and even when he is off of work, he doesn't take the kids off her hands to give a day or a nights rest. It's so bad, that she even takes the kids (all three) to the supermarket with her! When she does this, it gets so frustrating, that she leaves the cart of food and just leaves the store, because the kids are crying, fighting each other and getting into things. So, because my best friend is so house stricken and would love to get out and get away, I would keep the kids for a weekend, put up with the kids crying and let her have a break, because I feel she deserves it. She's a great person.
I would take my best friend Cheryl out to be pampered,have her hair done, new clothes, whatever she wanted.She deserves to be pampered. She been alone for the past 5 years, struggling to keep her house afloat, always on a steady course. She lost her Mom a few months ago.The father did not know how to run the business, do the checkbook, cook for himself, housework,etc. His wife did everything. she stepped up to the plate and every night, she goes to her dad's sometimes til 9:30-10:00 to make sure he is all right, cooks him dinner, does his accounting for his business, etc.I dont remember the last time she took time to go get her hair done, or buy herself something new. She deserves this if anyone does.
My best friend has been my friend since we were 10 years old. She is married with three kids and they have been having financial problems. They are now getting back on thier feet.Well, the summer is coming up and thier kids wants to go on a vacation, actually, they want to go to Disney world. If I win this money I'm going to give it to them to help them go on thier trip. They are already having garage sales to raise money so this will help them alot. My best friend has always been there for me so now I want to be there for her. We've been friends for 19 years and I love her dearly. I really hope I win. This will make her very happy because I will be helping her make her kids happy and making her kids happy is her first priority. She's a wonderful and she deserves this vacation as much as the kids do.
My friend and I are avid gamers and movie freaks. But while I sometimes strapped for cash, he's pratically broke while trying finish medical school. Paying for the basics of living leaves nothing for fun and he's been stressed because of it and his PlayStation 2 is gathering dust when he can't loan a game or movie off of me. With $300 I could load his shelf to from edge to edge with a his favorite video games and movies galore from our favorite store for games and movies. Then I would load up his fridge with enough goodies, brain and comfort food as well thirst quenchers to keep him relaxed, stuffed and refreshed through any exam or class. That way I could refuel his brain and provide a release after dealing with classes, books and teachers looks.
My best friend and I live almost 1400 miles away from one another. She has recently gone through a terrible break up, and is feeling very down. I really want to cheer her up and bring her up to Montana to visit. She hasn't traveled much, and Montana is such a beautiful place, that I think bringing her up here would really brighten her spirits. However, we are both really strapped for cash, and it's placing any sort of travel plans on the back burner. If I happened to have an extra $300, I'd be able to buy her a plane ticket to come her best friend. I know that her coming to see me, and getting away for awhile is just what she needs.
