Elda, the aged mother of Alice and Barry, both adults, wished to employ a live-in companion so that she might continue to live in her own home. Elda, however, had only enough income to pay one-half of the companion's $2,000 monthly salary. Learning of their mother's plight, Alice and Barry agreed with each other in a signed writing that on the last day of January and each succeeding month during their mother's lifetime, each would give Elda $500. Elda then hired the companion. Alice and Barry made the agreed payments in January, February, and March. In April, however, Barry refused to make any payment and notified Alice and Elda that he would make no further payments. 64. Will Elda succeed in an action for $500 brought against Barry after April 30? 
Yes, because by making his first three payments, Barry confirmed his intent to contract.  Yes, because Elda is an intended beneficiary of a contract between Alice and Barry.  No, because a parent cannot sue her child for breach of a promise for support.  No, because Alice and Barry intended their payments to Elda to be gifts.
