What would you do with the $25,000?

Help my son. He tried to unlive himself 3 yrs ago. He used a drug he never had and it left him with meth psychosis. I was told by holcombs that they can bring him back for $1500 aday for 20 days. I don't have that kind of money. So if I win I will try to get them to help him with the $25,000. Please choose me.
