According to Brown, Mobile Medical offered to have someone pack up Spinks' belongings and also offered to fly her back to her home in Texas, but Spinks refused. Tauala offered to find an apartment for Spinks but Spinks replied that she had already made a hotel reservation at the Tropicana Lodge in Palo Alto. Tauala also offered to look into obtaining government assistance for Spinks, but Spinks declined that offer. Spinks' mother, who was staying with Spinks after her surgery, was also present in the apartment. (Spinks v. Equity Residential Briarwood Apartments (2009) 171 Cal. App. 4th 1004, 1057 (Spinks I). )
