Today, one of the teens I mentor was graduating. Determined to be at the graduation for her, I filled my car up with gas and set out early with a gift for her. Two miles out of town, my car seizes up in a cell service dead zone. I missed everything, my car is scrap, and I can't even apologize. FML.

Take her a gift or something next chance you get, or (with her parents permission!) take her out to eat somewhere. You didn't make it to the actual event, true, but that doesn't mean you can't find a way to celebrate it with her.

That seriously sucks OP but find a way to explain what happened and give her your gift when you can I'm sure she will be thrilled you made such a great effort for her

Precisely. It's the thought that counts. She'll appreciate the effort.
