I don't know how some people are okay with receiving support from the community without giving anything back. I can't even think of doing something like that because it makes me feel like a leech, a parasite whose only aim is to take without reciprocating the support.
There's power in engagement, building quality connections and network that will be of help later in the future, but it's so sad that people underestimate it until it becomes too late. I hope she will be able to get the help she needs, this should also serve as a form of lesson for people on the same path and they should be able to learn something from this
