What to do for neighbor who has gone above and beyond

Cut them a check for a few grand? You can gift someone up to $18,000 a year.

Set up a local scholarship in their name?

Maybe a donation in their name as an honor

Gift her some cash and call it a day.

Wow that is a tricky question. Is she well off or struggling? IS she retired or still working? If she is retired she maybe just bored and was looking for something to do. You did let her have stuff. Maybe you could see if she needs something done to her house.

Trust me, they’re not the IRS or FBI. How would they know anything about it?

There were a number of good people who helped me when I was dealing with my uncle’s property after his death. I gave some money and others gift certificates to plays and nice restaurants. One lady, I’m making a donation to an organization in her name.

Just do what you feel is appropriate, whether it’s direct payment, a donation to their favorite charity, a scholarship in their name, etc. The amount or type isn’t as important as them knowing just how much you appreciate them.

Let her borrow your TD login, and ban OweO. It would make her day.

Send her some nice flowers and a thank you card in addition to the gift cards, cash, etc. folks have suggested.

If you were planning on giving money then a weekend getaway might mean something to them.

Something that will keep on giving like a one year subscription to Audible if they like books or a Wal-Mart grocery delivery subscription for a year.
