Someone can make you feel cared for even if theyre not able to help personally.

This morning I asked for SOS from one of my friends. I am having a problem financially and I asked her to let me borrow some money. She informed me that they just got from the hospital and that they even have to pay for their balances. And i told her its all OK. It is no problem if she can't help me and she started telling me that, if she could only find some for me she will do it. She told me to find somebody else for help and she will also find someone to borrow from sop she can let me borrow.
She was my closest friend in college and I really appreciate that I have her as my friend. She is on my toplist. Though she was not able to help, I appreciate the care she has got for me.

She is your real friend indeed. The amount of help that one can give is not the gauge on telling that a person is truly your friend. Sometimes, comforting words are enough to show that they are there for you and are very much willing to be on your side whenever you need them.

and she just PMed me on FB that I should just keep in touch with her. She's looking for help too. But she was also able to really care.
I really treasure her. Btw, do have this kind of friend or did you had a situation before when you reach out for help and noone went out to help?

Well, actually, I rarely as help from them coz I know how busy they are with their own lives. But usually, what I just need from them is their time to listen to me when I need somebody to make me feel better.

She is a wonderful friend even if she can't lend any money out to you she shows she is trying to find someone else who can. I have lent plenty of $ to my brother and I get no appreciation in return, it's like with family like him who needs enemies. Just the most selfish kind of relative you want to have. I don't lend him anymore money thank goodness cause I told him he has to let me watch my TV shows at night now, which he doesn't normally do. Ever since then he hasn't asked to borrow money anymore which is hilarious since he was asking me once or twice a year for the longest time there up to $500 per pop. I can't do that if he won't help me in return for some things. I mean how much TV does one person need to see, anyways-- LOL.

I have a friend who is very generous too
I asked to lend me some money and she thought I wanted it right away so she said she couldn't so I misunderstood her to say no but we talked again later and straightened out the misunderstanding and she is willing to lend me some money but I said no It's ok I may not need it after all. I really do appreciate a good friend who is willing to help.

I don't like that kind of friend, he is a user. He took advantage of you and if things went wrong, he will have the hard time to repay your kindness. Just imagine, if you are in trouble; he will not do the same thing you did for him.
