When the house she rented in Ojai, California burned down in Thomas’ fire, she and her boyfriend were distraught.

After her boyfriend passed away, leaving much of what they still had in her name, she couldn’t get much help after the fire.

“I was just lonely and depressed and it was a weird crossroads,” she said on Sunday.

Peet said she has dealt with mental health and addiction issues, but has taken programs for both.
