It's nice to hear that you want to help your friend get through this rough patch, without becoming a pawn in the game, but still care about her. Those are nice intentions.

I think that it's difficult to give advice on what you might do, to keep safe boundaries up, but still see that she is okay. I don't know what you can do, honestly. Are there homeless shelters in her area? Can she work? Is there a need for jobs that she can do somewhere nearby?

If your friend can work, and jobs are available in X town, maybe you could seek out shelters or halfway houses in X town to get her through until she can save enough money to get out to a safe, healthy place to live.

I wish that I could think of some better advice for you ~ but that's all I can think of right now. Best wishes to your friend...I hope that she's okay & stays safe!
