Need Advice: Frustrated Meeting with Recruit for Selling PC - Any Suggestions?

In summary, the conversation is about a recruiter's frustration with a potential recruit who had to reschedule their meeting multiple times due to personal issues. The recruiter seeks advice on how to handle the situation and eventually the recruit signs up.

I am a little frustrated because I had a meeting with a recruit lead. It went very well. She was supposed to sign & come to training the following Monday. Well, she found out she's pregnant with baby #3. Everything is OK, thankfully. She still wants to sell PC. So, we reschedule for the Friday. She messages me saying she is sick. I did see things on FB about her being sick. Anyway, we were going to get together today, but hadn't settled on a time. I called and left a msg to see if she still wanted to get together. I didn't hear back. I know she has a lot going on, but I think this would be a good thing fro her, get her mind off of some of the crap she is dealing with (family drama). So, does anyone have any advice for me? My dir is away and I don't want to call her (even though I know she will be OK with it.

So, my recruit contacted me and we had a meeting scheduled for today, but she had to change the time and then never called me back. I don't know what to say or do. I am beginning to think that maybe this isn't a good fit for her.

No one has any advice, oh Wise Cheffers?
 
I've found that all you can do is present them with the info---I've had several over the years that suddenly get cold feet. I just keep them in my email loop and let them know if their situation changes, I'd love to help them...If they're not motivated enough to sign up they are certainly going to be motivated to sell

So... I sent a message on FB asking if she was still interested, if something had changed. I also mentioned that we of course would still be coffee buddies, but I didn't want to bug her if she wasn't interested.

This morning I got a text that she wants to meet sometime this week! Yay! So, now I just have to nail down a date. Phew!

I know the bigger picture is about helping her realize her goals, but damn, that gift card would have been nice! Could have really used it, too.
