VIII. Tom and Jerry have been best friends since their childhood days in the orphanage. Although they went to different schools and chose different professions, they remained closer than brothers each step of the way, helping each other out each time one of them fell upon bad times. When Jerry met an accident and lacked funds for the operation, it was Tom who spent for it, without asking for repayment. One day, Tom became seriously ill, just when he also lost all his savings in a bad investment. His wife, Charlotte, approached Jerry to share in the medical expenses, who, to her surprise, sent his apologies and declined to give help since he was saving up for his 10 year-old child's college education. Highly disappointed and desperate, Charlotte approached you, intending to file a case against Jerry to compel him to contribute to his best friend's medication. After all, Tom's need is immediate, while Jerry still has another 6 to 7 years to save up for his child's college tuition. What is your legal opinion on the matter? (5 pts)
