Anyways, I get a text from another neighbor this morning saying that he saw my oldest kid out front trying help the woman jump-start her car for about 20 minutes (not successful sadly).
The kid said she came up to house, rang doorbell, and he went out there to help her.
Pretty proud of that kid. Of course, we'd had a lot of discussion about the other neighbor refusing to loan her a can opener.
Still not sure how it ends. The car still needs to move to avoid a city tow.

I'm sad to say the car saga has apparently come to an end with the city towing Mary's car away while she and another neighbor looked on. That neighbor had been trying help her start her car again to no avail. He gave her some information on a local group that provides homeless assistance. I've been out of town. I'm not really sure what's next for her and have no idea if I'll see her again or not.
