I added up *just* my Venmo to her in 2024 alone... $40K!!! Yes, she had me THAT brainwashed, never to question her, just send her $500 here, $1000 there... her kid needed to pay for the dorm cuz financial aid hadn't come, her other friend who got hit by a car needed help, "oh I bought this JUNK for US at Ross...$600" etc...
