$20 for gas money to a student in Los Angeles, Ca.

I got a letter last week from Michelle B. who is 17 and lives near Los Angeles, Ca. She is getting ready to start college (do 17 year olds really go to college???) and said she could use some gas money or some cash for other expenses.

I was impressed that she was pursuing higher education, so I am mailing her a $20 money order that she can use for food, entertainment or gasoline for her car.

Good luck at school, Michelle!
