My MIL just lost her job as a 4th grade math teacher. Long story short, one student got upset with her, told their parent, their parent complained to the school and she basically got “canceled”.

I want to get her something as a “pick-me-up” preferably something from a local store or something I can make or order on Amazon. I want this to be a useful thread for anyone else who wants to help someone else out too. I know there's hope.

If anyone has no ideas but helpful words of encouragement, I will put them in a card for her at the very least! Thanks everyone!!
