What’s the most extravagant gift you’ve received from your friends?
The answer to that probably depends on how large your friendship circle is, how loaded they are, and also how much they rate you.
One woman has clearly done something right as four of her nearest and dearest surprised her with a brand new car for her birthday.
Mizani Rev from Florida has four amazing friends – Jean, Quia, Taty, and Sara. The group made the ambition plan eight months prior to the big day.
They used an app called Quapital and saved $25 (£19.40) every week for eight months until they had the funds.
There were some setbacks, being 22-year-olds on minimum wage jobs and having other commitments, but they got there in the end.
Yesterday they were able to surprise Mizani with the whip, which made her break down in tears.
Meanwhile, some of us can’t get a reply back in our Whatsapp squad plans.
Daycare worker Jean, 23, was the mastermind behind the plan.
He explains to Metro.co.uk: ‘We used an app called Quapital and set it to automatically take $25 a week from our bank accounts and put it into one group fund “Zani whip fund” until we hit our goal and we searched the internet together to find her the best car!’
Also in the group are two nurses and one waitress, all aged between 22-23.
‘There were some bumps on the road cause a lot can happen in eight months,’ adds Jean. ‘For example, Sara actually totaled her car a few months back and had to buy a new one so that set us back a bit but we made it happen.’
He adds that they’re not rich but the weekly set amount was manageable for the group.
And they felt Mizani was hugely deserving of the gift.
‘We did it for her because she is so selfless and always willing to give her last to anyone in need,’ he continued. ‘She doesn’t get much back and doesn’t ask for it but I thought that she deserved it!’
When Jean shared a video and photos of Mizani’s reaction, the post went viral, racking up nearly 70,000 likes.
Many people commented, writing: ‘love seeing black love in all its forms’ and ‘we love black friendships’.
Others added that they were friendship goals, adding that Mizani must be an amazing woman.
‘She must be a phenomenal, humble, and giving a woman for friends to come together and do something this big for her.’
Jean concluded ‘worth every penny’.
We love to see it.
