"The kids can't go to school, they have no clothes." --Lie
"I can't work because my van broke down."--Lie, ride the bus, get a job at the hospital, I see jobs all the time for nurses listed. There is a shortage.

There aren't busses everywhere... perhaps there are where she lives, perhaps not, I don't know.. but there are a LOT of places where public transportation does not exist.
