Making a card or writing a little note is a nice gesture and also something she can take out and look at later if she's feeling bummed.
Another idea would be to cook her a meal...a special dinner or breakfast in bed or something. Try a Rachael Ray 30-minute meal for something easy and delicious. The way to someone's heart is through their stomach, after all!

Who doesn't like food?
Make her a special dessert or something she could always eat at breakfast.
Start with some philo dough. Then get some butter flavored cooking spray. Lightly spray the layers until you have about 8 of them piled on top of each other. Then use a can of cherry or apple pie filling and put about half the contents of the can about 1/4 of the way near the top of the dough sheets and roll it. You can use toothpicks to keep it together. Then place it on parchment paper. To give it a shiny look, brush the dough with egg whites. Stick it in the oven, and then when it cools off, dust some powdered sugar on top.
She would appreciate and acknowledge the time and thought you put into it, and it takes less than 45 minutes to prepare.

First of all, you're a good friend for wanting to help. No, you don't need money to make someone feel appreciated. In fact, if whenever they're down you buy them gifts it can have the opposite effect. Try throwing her a surprise get together with her closest friends. Have everyone bring some snacks and stuff and it'll be good to go without any money. Get people to bring CDs and movies and other things depending on what you want to do. And overall, just make sure you stay in touch with this person frequently so that she knows shes loved and appreciated.
Good Luck! :)

Money does not buy happiness, but it does buy temporary satisfaction, and a lot of people tend to confuse the two.
So temporary satisfaction would not be the answer here, because it would just be to hide the pain.
Continue with the inspirational words, make a cute handmade card saying you love them and are thinking about them. Be sure to compliment on things that are done correctly or helpful.
But in some cases your family member should see a psychologist, it helps. I am going to be a psychology major and have taken my fair share of AP, excel, and extracurricular psychology classes, and know they all just want the best for out society and family's. So if it comes to that, don't be ashamed its always nice to talk to people on the outside.
Hope all turns out well!!
Maybe you can help me out!!!

Money doesn't always make people happy. I mean to give something then give her love andi care. Sit down with her ask her what is going on in her life. ask her if she is doing anything speacial or anything cool this week. take out time to spend with her. Ask her if would want to go out just as a family and friend thing. Show most importantly love and let her know that u r there for her. i hope evrything works out.
Because of Him,
taylor

It sounds like she will be unhappy no matter what you do, all you can do is be supportive and love her. She may need to talk to someone about her feelings. It is not your job to always keep her happy, she needs to be able to do that. Just be the best person you can to her and don't worry about spending money on her, she may not appreciate it anyway..

Make a homemade coupon book such as:
1) Coupon for making one dinner.
2) Coupon for mowing one lawn.
3) Coupon for vacuuming and dusting.
4) Coupon for doing the dishes.
5) Coupon for changing beds, washing sheets and making the beds.
You get the idea. Then the family member can redeem any coupon they want whenever they want.

you are in a tough spot sweetie...its brings a tears my eyes to hear your wish of kindness and passion for this family member ...make sure it does not drain you dear one...some people can't get past the feeling of self pity and its truly sad...spend time with her but make it clear that she is loved by you ... take her for walk ...talk ...spend some time with her ...but when the pity thing comes up excuse yourself politely and leave...she will get the message after you do this enough...but each time ...put a day or two between trying again....allowing her to see that her self pity is making her more and more lonely...your coming back and trying again gives her and gave to maybe understand you are trying but it is her choice to get off the pity pot or stay on it ...the next time she starts and I am sure she will do 2 or 3 days before spending more time with her ...and so on...the words I love you are said too easily now a day or not at all...time is more valuable and meaning for ...it "shows" love...most importantly love her but don't let her bitterness and self pity suck you in ...I hope this helps ...best of love and luck to you and her....
HAPPIEST of HOLIDAYS!!!

How old are you? You could take construction paper and make vouchers for things such as free babysitting of help with house work. Or you could get your parents to buy you the things to make sweet treats and you could make baskets.It all depends on your age, these things are cute when coming from a kid or teenager than coming from a adult.

Sorry, but no woman in her right mind wants a man who earns 25,000 a year and lives with his parents! You may be right to search for one in a different culture who thinks you are a treasure. U.S. woman want to see a successful man not a poor man living with his mommy and daddy. You present the man a woman wants, you don't present that man after the fact once you have a woman because you aren't going to find a woman.
