A woman I work with has confided in me that she has split up with her husband, he has left and she is packing in preparation for moving out (it's his house- she is not on deeds. I know) Anyway, the issue is that she is currently training and not receiving a salary- her husband was supporting her until she starts being paid, which isn't until September, but of course this won't continue and she is really worried about having no money at all coming in until then. She can't get a job until at least the last week of July and in any case, it would be difficult to find a temporary job.
I don't have much spare myself but would really like to lend/give her some money to tide her over. I know that she eould never accept it if I offered though. WIBU to pop some money in an envelope and put it anonymously in her desk drawer? Or is this a terrible idea? I just can't imagine what she's going through and this is the only way I can think of to help.
