和 敬 西 洋

It's too soon right now to know what Sensei needs - I can't offer her or her pets any sort of comfortable crash space, and I don't have the funds to provide her with much else right now - but I was thinking about something for later that I could possibly do, such as for an early Christmas present, and it occurred to me that maybe a new kimono ensemble would be worth a shot. A lined poly komon, easy-obi, and underwear set, plus the underpinnings, would be $200 or so (probably under, at Kyoei, because she's an M size and those aren't as pricey as LL!), but if the other students chipped in, we could manage that and maybe a simple tea set (like you see as gift sets? Nothing fancy, but *something*) - it would be things she wouldn't have to borrow (and thus, be reminded of her loss) if she wanted to go to a Tea event or lesson and try to forget the harshness of reality, y'know?

Does that make sense to anyone else?
