An update: Mary returned, distraught about her car being towed. Was sitting on the porch with a neighbor as my kid walked by with the dog (she called out and said "hi"). She had apparently spent the night somewhere near downtown Chicago.
This neighbor managed to make a connection with a local homeless aid group that sent someone over to chat and they found shelter for her over weekend at least.
So, the story continues....

I saw Mary when I was out walking the dog just now. We had a great conversation about the car situation and how the neighbors have been so helpful. I told her about my trip to see my ailing mom in the hospital/rehab (the reason for my road trip). My kid had mentioned something about school so I asked about that. She's going to one of the Chicago city colleges, hoping to transfer to a 4-year school. I said I was back in school myself. This all ended with a fist-bump. Mary is cool.
