Parents of child’s classmate asked for a $14K loan
So my child goes to an expensive private school in large part because our family started a successful business which allows us to afford tuition and also donate to annual fundraisers. We received a lot of recognition at the last annual fundraiser that took place one month ago.
Yesterday I received a text message from a parent of one of my kid’s classmates. We are acquaintances. I used to see her at school events and we’d chat a little, but definitely not what I would consider to be a good friend. Back to the text.
She said that she was embarrassed to ask, but that her husband was waiting for his small business loan to process and they were in desperate need of a loan to cover expenses in the meantime.
She asked if I knew of any “angel investors” that could help them out. I texted her back with a list of contacts we have that help with these loans and situations. I also suggested a few credit companies that can offer quick money with low interest. She thanked me and I thought that was that. Weird, but okay.
