For this week:
It's far more generous of you to offer what you would do if you were in you-know-who's shoes than to offer a critique of said shoes -- anyone can be a critic. Also, what you say is just as important as how you say it. The details of this person's situation are certainly more complicated than you realize, and coming on too strong will only diminish your position from where you can dispense advice (and it is certainly a position you enjoy). As for dispensations of other kinds, money is tight at the end of the week, so don't go driving down the highway throwing dollar bills out the window.
