If I had $300, I would buy my best friend a ticket for a vacation to Virgin Islands. She wanted to visit but has been dealing with stressful events. She has been through a lot of drama in the past year. Her husband emotionally and mentally abused her causing her to become seriously depressed. She gained over 150 lbs., an unhealthy amount of weight, and developed medical problems as a result. She filed for divorce shortly after leaving the abusive relationship and has lost all the weight she gained. She now looks great and feels better. She moved to California to live with her sisters and has a wonderful job. She is starting over again and I feel that she needs a well deserved break. I love her and want the best for her!!!
I remember when my best friend of 13 years and I would see babies, we would talk about having one someday. I love babies, but I don’t want one just yet. She on the other hand can’t wait to have one. Well, over the past few years after having several medical issues, procedures, and tests, she found out that she could only have children through invitro fertilization. Doctors tell her that the next few years would be the best time to have one. The procedure is expensive and although $300 is not anywhere close to how much she would need, I would give it to her anyway. Her children are going to be like my children too. I know she would appreciate it.
My best friends name is Bobbie and if I had an extra $300 I would buy my best friend some orthopedic shoes. She just had an operation on one of her feet not that long ago. They had to remove heel spurs. She is so picky about her feet. She doesn't walk around barefooted and can't stand for any kind of debris to be on her feet.
She has a difficult time in walking. With the type of work that she does, it requires her to be on her feet at all times. She cleans houses for a living.
I would buy her the most comfortable shoes with pillowed inserts to comfort her feet so she could walk normally and not walk like she is stepping on egg shells all the time.
I have one of the very best friends in the world. Since I don't drive, she takes me EVERY place I need to go. She will drop what she is doing and take me to the end of the Earth, if I ask. Every two or three years, we jump in her car, take a day off work, and drive. We use a map and drop a toothpick on it. That's where we go! We try to stay over a couple nights and find something to do. We've been to flea markets, county fairs, small town train museums, and downtown Chicago. She grew up in orphanages and didn't get to travel much.
This year, we had big plans to actually fly to Cleveland, Ohio and take in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. (We grew up in the 70's) Unfortunately, she had loaned out some money to a family member earlier in the year and they failed to pay her back. This was part of the money that we were going to use for a trip. With a few extra dollars, I would take her on a trip to our State Capitol. Springfield IL. She has always wanted to go for a day and be a tourist. She really does deserve it!
If I had $300 dollars what I would get for my best friend is, will first let me tell you about my best friend. He is truly the kindest man that I know. He saved me when I was at a bad place in my life. He had been the rock to keep me contacted. He deserver everything that I could possible get him. But what I would most like to do is help him with his by fixing his car that was rear ended. Thanks I hope that I win! It would be a great help
