My dad was robbed
My dad was robbed a couple of nights ago. They took a lot of irreplaceable items; antiques, family heirlooms, etc.. and that can’t be replaced. But they took something that COULD possibly(Not totally but it’s something within my power) be replaced:, a really special amp that was given to him by his best friend as a baby gift, when I was born. He said it’s the best amp he’s ever played on and he’s devastated. I’m on the fence about finding an amp just like the one That was stolen and giving it to him for his birthday, which is coming up soon. But the ones I’m finding that are similar are pretty pricey, and I’m pretty broke. There was one I found that seemed EXACTLY like the one he had but it’s well over $3,000. That would eat up my entire balance on my credit card and I would spend the next 3 years paying it off. It’s already difficult to swing rent and the stack of bills that I pay every month. OR I was thinking I could call the friend of his and ask him to throw in on it (he’s pretty wealthy.) I’m not comfortable asking for money but I wanna do this for my dad. I’m just not sure if I should spend all that money. What do you guys think?

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
I also vote for setting up a Go Fund Me page and let Dads friend know so he can help you find a good one after you have recieved the funds on Go fund me.

I think your dad would be furious if you spent money you didn't have for rent, eating, bills etc. and maxed a credit card out on something like this. He would love you thought of it but wouldn't be happy with you spending 3 years paying it off.
I think you could approach his friend and tell him about the robbery and what was taken. Tell him that you wanted to get an amp like it but cannot afford it and see what he suggests. One idea you may want to do is share the story with people you knew and those who know him and the significance of the iteam. Perhaps you can set up a Go Fund Me to get him a new one with everyone chipping in but not telling him as a surprise. That would be a better way of reaching your goal and you won't have to go broke doing it.
