The direct cause of her problem was the price of the stock she owned dropped off a cliff. In that regard, I just feel sorry for her. The fact that somebody that lived and worked in top positions in Silicone Valley didn't have a net worth of more than $200k is what was really surprising. It's obvious that she spent all her money without regard to the future. Furthermore, why doesn't she, with the experience she has, move someplace cheaper and find a good job. Surely she can. Unless the alcohol and depression have messed her up. In which case she just needs help, not a shelter.
