- Once cleared by the doctors, family and friends were able to move her to a better institution, which specialized in the relevant care for her physical therapy, but due to insurance issues, the family struggled to keep her in the facility.

- Sonia openly admitted that she is somewhat of an opportunist and will take someone’s purse or wallet just to return it later and hopefully get a reward. “I’ve returned a lot of wallet and a lot of purses, and sometimes I get something, something I don’t, okay?”…She said in one interview.
- She attended the Big Brother 18 wrap-up party with other celebrities in Los Angeles in 2016.
Sonia,
You are the best…I watch the show all the time. I wish you guys start something new. I love you!
I have a rare terminal illness. I also got a stroke while in the DRS exam room at the City Of Hope. I also have huge medical bills and a Go Fund Me but only one person has given to my cause, so I understand and feel so bad for Sonia. I don’t understand if her brother is worth so much…why doesn’t he help her? Truly hope she makes a full recovery.
