   Yeah, but by the time I save up 30 years worth of coins to gift her with,   
   she'd be 40 years old.  Another idea I had was to give here a perfectly   
   good wooden pallet I have stored.   
      
   She sleeps on a mattress on the floor.  She could put the pallet   
   underneath the mattress and it would be practically the same as a set of   
   box springs.   
      
   It's not that exciting for a young girl but, it would do her more good   
   than she would realize.  She would be off the cold floor, separated from   
   crawling insects, and she could use the space beneath the pallet for   
   storage of sorts.
