I was going to leave this alone. You've convinced me, as one of those know it all motherfuckers, to illustrate as to why you are either being
clearly played and/or don't get to toss that righteousness around as if it is actually righteous.

As has been pointed out and linked to, at the time you posted that and very quickly subsequent--she had advertisements up.

There was then and is now a mechanism preventing her eviction. And as I mentioned--you could've (and should have) given the money directly to the landlord. If she really needs the rent, that doesn't matter. If she's playing you, it does.

She can check herself in today regardless of her ability to pay. Right now. In fact, if she lives in allegheny county, she can call the "resolve" crisis number
which Western Psych runs for free for Allegheny County and maybe get that help without even having to have a hospitalized intervention. Has nothing whatever to do with paying rent or the ability to pay for the care (particularly because if she is that destitute, her out of pocket costs will be effectively zero anyway).
In short: it sounds like either you or her expect people to believe something which anyone cynical enough to hobby twice probably isn't going to take at face value just for the reasons I allude to above. It's full of inconsistencies and things which don't add up. I'm not unsympathetic to folks down on their times nor do i reflexively disbelieve stories as such. But either you thought a lot of people weren't critical thinkers or she did. Given that you claimed the idea, the righteous indignation stuff just rings stupid.
