She is bipolar, and due to her breakdown and long hospitalization, her insurance lapsed and she fell behind on rent. When she re-emerged and tried to grasp what had happened, her employer had not held her part-time position and she was out of work. Because
she was a contract worker she was no longer eligible for unemployment.</div>
