['My neighbor was robbed at home last week.  Since then, she has been too scared to stay by herself.  We let her stay with us for a couple of nights.', "That sounds terrifying! I wouldn't want to stay alone either. That was nice you guys took her in.", 'She was a nervous wreck and we felt like it was a good idea for her to have some friends around for a while.']
I don't blame her. I am sure she felt more at ease staying with you guys.
My neighbor had her home broken into last week and was scared to stay by herself after the robbery.  We let her stay with us for a couple of nights.
