Question for the Women Here
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
My neighbor's house burned down last night and she lost literally everything. I don't know her too well but she used to have a Trump flag up and posted Q stuff on our nextdoor app. She always seemed like a nice person. We briefly talked about politics a few times since she always jogged at the same time every morning.
I want to check in with her and maybe bring some small gifts to help her feel normal again. What could I gift a woman in her 50s with nothing left but the nightgown she had on? Something that's not too expensive but would still help a lot.
We had apartment fire while the kids were small, we were out shopping for school supplies and came home to them putting out fire. Hub was over seas at the time, a few of the neighbors took care of the kids while I delt with the filling of forms for that night. Being mil, we were able to get a room at lodging on base for a few weeks but, that was still a pain, nice to have exchange and commissary across the street though. I would suggest like many have, GENERAL gift card "online one if she has access" or to a general goods store near her.. It was all the little personal care items that I was constantly doing without for those weeks (including medications) for myself more than the kids. Daughter got a lil stuffed bunny from neighbor that night, she held onto it for years after, her favorite stuff animal. heh. If she does speak to you listen to her words, can figure out what else she lost, we lose many items but, until you lose them all, dont realize how many you can actually do without and the few that you actually MISS having. lol.
