My best friend Rachel is the sweetest, kindest most giving girl I have ever met. Being around someone like her makes me want to be a better person. That is why I know spending money on her would be a joy and something that I have wanted to do for a long time. She helps to support her parents and never complains. She sends every last penny to her folks since her dad just had his leg amputated due to diabetes. He can't work anymore, so the financial burden has fallen on her and her husband. She loves them, but she gives up things she wants and needs for their happiness. She is pregnant and I am so happy for her, but with a baby comes new expenses. She colors her hair at home, has been wearing second hand clothes and never spends any money on herself. If I had three hundred dollars to spend on her I would take her to get her hair done at a salon and of course get her some cute new maternity clothes, so that she can feel good about herself. I can think of no one that deserves it more. :)
Thank you for your consideration National Pay Day!
If I had an extra $300 what would I give my best friend?? My all time best friend (my mother) died 3 years ago. I would have bought her anything and everything she could possibly have for that amount of money ! My second choice since I do not have my mother anymore would be my middle sister. Ever since I can remember she has been there for me - listening, caring and loving me no matter what. When my other sisters thought that I was just a brat (which I probably was!) she treated me as if I were someone special. She has had a very rough time of it lately, emotionally and financially. I would definitely give the money to her to help catch up on her bills.
MY BESTFRIEND IS A GIFTED MUSICIAN AND SINGER FOR THE LORD WHO HAS NEVER HAD MUSIC LESSONS. SHE HAS HELPED ME RAISE MY THREE CHILDREN 4, 11, 12 YEARS OLD AND OTHERS WITH THEIR CHILDREN. I FELL AND INJURED MY KNEE AND I HAVE TO BE OUT OF WORK FOR 8 WEEKS. SHE IS HERE HELPING ME WITH THE LAUNDRY, CLEANING MY ENTIRE HOUSE AND MAKING ALL THE MEALS. ALENE HAS BEEN THERE FOR ME AND OTHERS FOR YEARS AND HAS NEVER ASKED FOR A DIME. REMIND YOU SHE DOES NOT PRESENTLY HAVE A JOB DUE TO HER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. WE HAVE TRIED TO HELP A LITTLE HERE AND THERE WITH HER BILLS BUT SHE REFUSES TO TAKE IT WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT. I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE HER A DAY AT THE SPA FOR ALL SHE DOES FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING IN RETURN. IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO HAS NOTHING GIVES SO MUCH. IF ANY ONE DESERVES AT LAST $300 SHE IS THAT PERSON. THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANCE. ALENE EVANS
My best friend is my husband, Jared. Our life has not been an easy one since we got married. He was in an auto accident three months after our wedding and now has permanent back damage. He is 25 years old. It hurts him all the time and working has been very difficult for him so money has been tight. We can pay our bills, but little else. We have a very cheap fifty-dollar goodwill couch in our home and it is very uncomfortable for his back. If I had and extra three hundred dollars, I would buy him a better couch. I love him so much and I just want him to be more comfortable so I think that it would be money put to good use and make our marriage so much happier.
Thank you.

If i had an extra $300, my first priority would be to give to my younger brother carlan, who has been displaced from his home by his natural father and grandfather. This is a great time of need for them when one of his children is sick and that they travel 150 miles (300 miles round trip) to get treatment for this little one. My bro just started adding on to the house to make room for his new baby, and was doing the flooring when the dad and grandpa came over and told them to get out. My bro has a wife, two children and one on the way. This family has suffered alot from financial difficulty, having a sick child, and then being thrown out of your house which you called home for the past 27 years. Since family is of top priority and that we like to look after one another, i would let him have it to take care of his precious family!
