In that case, she must have somewhere to go to get her chassis repaired by the parole officials, I'd think.

What, you think parole boards actually think things through that well? They're a government bureaucracy that doesn't even pretend to care what's best for the people under their authority.

I'm betting that May sort of falls apart and, lacking any legitimate way of helping her (for financial reasons), Momo brings her to Faye and Bubbles (as a result of a recommendation from someone else at the self-help group). What starts out as "emergency patch job" turns into "substantive upgrade" with lots of interesting hidden peripherals, mostly because neither of them can resist tinkering.
This does get May in trouble with the parole board. However, the whole thing turns into a can of worms that the bureaucrats don't want to deal with when the self-help group comes out in support of May, pointing out that May needed help now, not in the promised "five to ten working days", which is the best the official government chop shop promised her. No government office wants to have protesters standing around outside, waving placards specifically accusing the office of sentient rights abuses.
Yeah, I'm thinking this will turn into a parable of the state of emergency healthcare for the financially disadvantaged in America.

Sorry, living in a functioning society sometimes screws up my perspective, I guess. :-P
