Yesterday I posted about my based neighbor who lost everything in a house fire this week. This morning I decided to bring her a gift card and see if she needed anything else and maybe check in for a while.

I knocked on her hotel door and she seemed really excited to finally see someone. She was really apologetic at first and surprised she got a visitor. She kept apologizing for her appearance for some reason. That seemed to have really bothered her since she usually looked pretty put together.

She invited me in and we talked for a while. I pretty much sat back and let her vent about everything. She's under a ton of stress. I guess her husband died and her kids moved to other states so that's why no one has helped her yet. Her husband was a veteran so she was living on some sort of pension I guess. The police gave her a cheap phone and a robe but that's all she has right now along with the free stuff from the hotel room.

She said she misses having her own private space and also misses being able to jog every morning. I guess she's been pacing around the hotel room lol. She said she also used to have a few guitars which she's missing right now. She sang a little bit. We talked about politics and current events for a while and she was impressed with what a smart young man I am (no brag). After a while I can tell she started to feel more like her normal self and not so destitute.

Thanks for everyone who gave me ideas. I didn't end up getting her much but I hope it can at least help a tiny bit.
