I wholeheartedly agree w/Dodo about communication, she could just be needing a listening ear and maybe she just wanted to vent a little and not really be asking you for money. The only iffy part to me is that she specifies that she needs money for such and such, if she is going into great detail about what she needs money for then ... hmm, sort of sounds like she is asking for financial help.
