My true best friend of 12 years is actually now my wife Tracie. We grew up together and were just best friends until about 5 years ago when we decided we just belonged together. We even have the same birthday! She has given me one beautiful son and is expecting my daughter in may. To say she has had a difficult pregnancy this time around is putting it mild, she has a problem now where she cannot even walk anymore without crutches or a wheel chair to do even small stuff like grocery shop,due to a pelvic bone seperation problem. She doesn't sleep any more than an hour at a time due to extreme hip pains. What i find remarkable is she never complains, never asks for anything and I really want to buy a special set of pillows for her to sleep on to help relieve some of her pain and I wish I could buy it for her but it is so expensive. So if i had an extra 300 dollars I would buy my best friend in the world two memory foam body pillows so she could be out of pain long enough to sleep. I don't think most men understand just what our women go through to give us children and She has been the helping hand and giuding heart in my life, and she deserves a little comfort for being such a wonderful person to me and our whole family. Watching her go through this pain to give me another healthy baby is hard and I want to help her any way I can.
My best friend is without a doubt, my mother. If i had $300 to spend on her i would send her to a spa for the weekend. she heps me out so much i could never repay all she has done for me. My father died when i was 14 and my little sister was 2. She has taken care of us for the past fifteen years all on her own. After my father died, she knew what she had to do but never complained. She babysits chidren for a living and she also watches my children after school for me. She never does anything for herself and always puts other first. She deserves a weekend away to pamper herself. I would get her a package that included a massage. facial, manicure, and pedicure. She deserves this so much and I can't think of a better way to tell her thanks for all she does. I don't know what my sister and I would do without her.
If I had an extra $300, I would buy my best friend a bike to ride back and forth to work. He walks 5 miles to work in the afternoon, and 5 miles back home late in the evening. In the evenings, sometimes it takes him two hours to get home because his feet hurt from standing all day. He has a bad callous on one of his feet, which makes it painful for him to stand long periods of time. However, you would never hear him complain about it. He just goes about his business every day. He’s a very selfless person and would do anything for anybody. One time he walked to the store to get my mother some medicine that she desperately needed. Despite the fact that he had worked all day and was undoubtedly hurting, he did it. I am very fortunate to have a friend around like that who can help my mother when I cannot be there for her. I have used National Payday in the past to help him out. Thank you National Payday!
If I had an extra $300, it would be used to buy daycare for my best friend Tabita. She is a single mother of 2 children and is currently expecting her third. She also supports her parents since her dad is disabled. She is such a wonderful person that she would get mad at me for spending the $300 in the first place. I would love to buy her diamonds but I think sleep is more precious to her. Thank you!
If I had $300 I would buy a dear best friend a puppy Wellness plan at the nearest Veterinarian to help reduce the number of unwanted or abandoned pets in our area..
My family recently adopted a puppy and had enough funds to place him on such a plan which has been a blessing. The male puppy was very thin and turned out to have a very bad skin condition which left the puppy miserable. But he, Diego, had such beautiful eyes. We’ve never owned a large breed puppy, but for some reason, this one had to come home. A few months later, and several puppy Wellness visits ago, we discovered that two other puppies from the same litter had still not been adopted. They did not look healthy or happy. You always see happy puppies, but these were not. It is enough to make your heart break. My friend just happened to be with our family on that visit and made a comment that she would love to adopt one of the puppies but did not have enough money. How wonderful would it have been to help a friend in need, indeed, a good start for the puppy. The Wellness program includes all the shots and office visits for the first year as well as spade/neuter costs. There are too many animals abandoned and left out in the cold each year.
When we dropped off our friend that day, we all agreed if we had enough money to help with another puppy, it would be for our friend. The $300 would benefit a puppy adoption and ultimately the pet population would be reduced.
