<p>Ema, you’re sister’s situation sound awful. I’m surprised she has friends or that people would come to her home. </p>

I’ll mention that I have some small laundry soap items at home and see what they say. That should help me figure out the laundry situation (broken washer, no washer, lack of detergent, or lack of $ for laudromat).</p>
