I&#39;d like to my friend to be selected for the tickets. She lost her husband and soul mate a few years ago. She&#39;s raising two kids (toddler and teenager, both girls) and going to school to get her degree. She has devoted the last few years to them and hasn&#39;t had the opportunity to get out much. The time the kids take from her makes it difficult to work much so she doesn&#39;t have a lot of extra money to get out and do events like this. She loves wine and shoes and it would be a great summer gift for her. And the fact that she puts up with me for a friend should be enough by itself. :-)
