Friend in trouble - need help

[albert_dao]

I believe there is some kind of fine print. I'll have to check into that.

Anyway, the $6500 comes from a rather convoluted situation.

A couple months ago, she took a cat for her friend to babysit for a couple days. That was a clean "came and gone" situation. However, in the two days that it was there, someone spotted in the window. At that point, she got a warning for having the cat. When it came down to it, she didn't have a cat, but was then liable for a $50/day fine if there was ever a cat found on her residence.

Now this happens.

I know it was a poor decision, but it's a bit beyond lamenting about bad choices now, I'm just desperate to find this poor girl a bit of help.
