If she's resistant, it seems to be out of a sense of empathy for other people in her situation, rather than mental illness or some other issue:
>“I felt at one time that I couldn’t accept housing because there were all these other people who need it”
>“The point is not so much that I need help, it’s that there are a bunch of people who need help — 12,000 in this area, half a million in the country,” Twigg said. “Help should be provided for everybody, not just a few.”
