Totally understandable! It’s a terrible situation to be in. I hope she’s able to find another source of money besides the GFM.

Has she checked with people at the school to see if there are any other aid sources they can direct her to? (I ask this as someone who donates to the dean's emergency fund - I think the school may have some money available for situations like this if she asks the right people.)

I have learned to stand on the puddle-free part of the elevator floor. (Though I’m not sure what I would do if the puddle covered the whole floor. I haven’t encountered that.)

See, when that happens in NYC, I hold my nose and use the elevator. (Poop, on the other hand… and yes, I’ve encountered that once or twice.)

Oh, thank goodness. I just went to confirm the NYC news, and I forgot I should check NJ too. (NJ is where much of my family lives.)
