AIBU to want to help my friend

[mailfuckoff]

I have a good friend I want to help but I don't want to offend her. I think as a family they have money worries and I could ease it for her , no questions asked but I know she has her pride. Also things may not be as bad as I fear they might be - it's hard to judge these things. Any ideas?

Talk to her. Ask if she's ok because you're worried about her and tell her why.

What makes you think there are money troubles?

I don't want to go into too many details but I know there is cash flow issues and I'm not sure on her savings situation

Could you buy a voucher from a shopping centre and give it too her, say that you don't shop there and have no use for it?
