Thank you for the question.
In Émilie's case, her financial situation was devastating. We had to make family decisions to help her. Her group of friends held a number of fundraising activities. I am talking about “cents” and not “dollars“. There was enough, but her friends wondered how poor Émilie would make ends meet. She was in the middle of renovations to her house and had all kinds of projects, as is typical of someone aged 28 or 29 who has a baby.
When Émilie passed away, her daughter Jasmine was three. Émilie had been fighting cancer for two years by then. It took up her whole being, and her friends who went to see her understood that. Everyone pitched in, which was great.
Also, having financial assistance does not mean that all the moral support disappears. On the contrary, it takes different forms. That is how I see it.
We talked a bit about mental illness. Those situations and that kind of stress play a role. The person's outlook is very important because it is the first step in success. But if the person's outlook is undermined by financial problems, that makes it difficult.
