history: I recently let a friend who's falling on hard times borrow my brand new car. My friend fell on hard times_comma_ so I let him borrow my brand new car so he can get to work. That is incredibly kind of you_comma_ I hope he is a good driver :)
current: I'm confident he will take good care of it! We have been friends for a long time so I know him well.
next: You are a great friend! We all need help at some point
