Readers Respond: Palm Harbor Moms Reveal What They'd Buy with a $1 Million Mother's Day Gift

No doubt, Palm Harbor moms will be the recipients of lots of hugs and kisses, pampering, and plenty of gifts this Mother's Day. 

But, what if you handed your mom a million dollars as a gift on Mother's Day, what would she do with the money?

We asked our Palm Harbor Facebook moms that question and got some honest and surprising answers. We also noticed that many of the moms would spend some of money to help someone else.

Here are some of the replies we received.

If someone handed you $1 million, what would you buy yourself for Mother's Day?

"Donations to help the homeless and to help homeless pets. Also college funds for grandchildren," -Elaine Posey Smart

"New legs for Ireland! College for my son!" -Marie Rhodes Hickman

"I would FINALLY be able to pull myself back up on my feet 100%, after almost coming very close to losing my life, by the hands of someone I thought loved me. I would restore my sanity and go back to a GOOD counselor. I would be able to financially be able to afford my own home, vehicle, just my sense of security as a strong woman again. I'd take self defense classes, I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK! and when you have no one, or anywhere to go, what a blessing. Then I'd donate a very large amount to domestic violence and maybe open some type of spa that is free of charge for woman survivors of domestic violence to go to, a place where they can be reminded of their beauty. People don't realize how ungodly difficult trying to get back your life is. I'd donate to children of abuse, along with so many more organizations," -Name Withheld
