I work with someone who is also one of my very good friends. She has 2 children, one of which has a condition that causes a lot of medical expenses. She broke down crying today because they are threatening to take her house, and her car is going to be repossessed probably this week. She had to pay a large amount of medical bills off, and it has left her with no funds.
Our company is having a fundraiser in October, where we plan to raise an extremely large amount of money. That, however, does not help her now.
I have considered taking out a personal loan for about 4 thousand dollars to keep her and her family afloat until then. She can not take out a loan, for her credit is ruined.
I am 100% confident that she will pay me back next month when the money comes in-probably before my first payment is due. I feel like I need to do something. She is in a really bad spot, and I would pray that someone would do that for me.
Is it a bad idea?
