not a relative, but she could not return to her home. Wife and I agreed to support her for several months. It was pretty darn expensive, and using it as a deduction would be nice.

No, personal living expenses to are not tax deductible.  Also, she does not qualify as a dependent because she did not live in your home for the entire year to be considered a member of your household.
