+1! & maybe a $10 Starbucks card for a coffee break, or better yet, take her/him? out to coffee to chat/vent.

Depends on how close we are, somewhere between $100-$250. Yes she has insurance but that takes time to submit a claim. If she's paycheck to paycheck she can't just go out and put a down payment on a new home until the insurance comes through. Lots of expenses between now and then.

$50-100, whatever you can afford.
Also, give some household things you might have that you don't use?

I hate the go-fund me sites as they take a portion of the money.

hm, but it's so much better for the recipient just to get a lump of cash.

Gift cards means she has to remember where she put it, and make a trip to that particular store. It may sound lame, but I lose gift cards.
