I really feel for this poor woman. You're the person she is trusting the most right now.... She must be feeling humiliated along with the depression. I can't imagine having no one to ask to get something from my home, then reaching out to the person I was closest to, and having them not help.
I don't understand how you have known this woman since the 90s yet are still unwilling to step up when she obviously really needs a friend. It's not like you've known her casually for a month. You've known her ages, your sister offered to loan her money which means she is also a family friend.... And you write a blog together. Between you and your sister I truly don't understand how you can't get her chequebook for her. It's really a small thing to ask of someone but is a huge need for her right now.

It wasn't to do with the time. It was the fact visiting hrs. weren't until 7:30 pm. I don't trust her neighborhood being there by myself. Hospital itself is within walking distance. Plus my health conditions, ie my knees. It hurts when I walk. I offered to pay her the difference. She understood. I did try to do what she wanted. It was NOT a small thing to ask. I don't drive. Like I should go to a neighborhood by myself I'm not that familiar with at night? She thought me paying the late rent fee was good enough for her. Obviously that solution wasn't good enough for you. I'm just happy it was okay with my friend. I believe I did the right thing.
