No credit card?
The company has a credit card.
This was their driver. "Come home empty or we'll put you up".
The company she works for is not broke. It's an established carrier that sponsors a race car team. They have money. No excuses here for the company....unless she's lying.

Looking back, Folz said she may not have adequately expressed the extent of her sickness, as she is “a very self-sufficient person” who tries not to ask for help.
“I have a hard time directly asking for help, because I take pride in my ability to get things done,” she said.

And a bit more.
Missing was a plan for getting Folz home despite messages and calls to her carrier and conversations with public health nurses in Canada.
“I thought my messages were a clear cry for help,” she said.
Backle said the company is reviewing its internal procedures and that clearly there was a breakdown in communications during her trip.
“It’s saddening for this to have happened,” Backle said. “I wish we had had all the information about her situation. The help is here. The sad part with Nicole is we didn’t realize that she required help after it appeared that she had it already. There was a disconnect,” Backle said.

PL a nning is hard on this but the minute you start feeling gtf home empty or loaded ....if any of my guys get hit this is an immediate bobtail home .....I made it home when it hit me , I was going to ride it out at home but my o2 levels dropped and fast my wife and mother dragged my ### to an er,
Within a couple of days in our hospital I was no longer a case they could manage I was on a ventilator in a helicopter on the way to an experimental program in Kansas City .....
My docs at home were logged watching everything in real time one week on the vent 10 days in ICU and i.m home no 50lbs lighter....a number you never hear about every day on a vent costs you 11% of your muscle mass .....walking to the bathroom is like walking two miles in my new skin I even have to eat like I did a huge workout but i.m alive ..

magoo68, dancecanyon, tinytim and 2 others Thank this. -
it’s super disappointing to see how many people are scoffing at this virus...almost with defiance here in the US.
we humans are supposed to be so advanced in thought but so many don’t care two bits if it’s not hitting them personally in the face.....and no problem spreading it to others—the amount of people still not washing their hands after doing terrible things in the washroom and coughing all over the place uncovered.
we’re capable of so much but content to do so little.peterd, not4hire, magoo68 and 1 other person Thank this.
