I'm familiar with this poor soul Mary Cody and this is her latest story. Nancy Rus is a truly good person. I didn't realize she'd been evicted from Patton Towers. Saving Mary Cody: One's efforts change everything for homeless womantimesfreepress.com/news/2011/sep/18/saving-mary/When Nancy Rus first saw Mary Cody, the woman was slumped, face down on a Market Street park bench.
Her arms hung limp, and a filthy, stainless steel walker stood beside her. Plastic bags, stuffed with urine-soaked clothing and blankets, bulged on the sidewalk.
People walked past. But Nancy thought the woman might be somebody's mother.
So the 64-year-old former Chicago organizational psychologist who retired in Chattanooga paused and started talking to the stringy-haired woman who called herself Mary.
"I couldn't just walk on by," Nancy said.

I read the entire article in the paper. What a great story and God Bless the woman that took the time to untangle all the bureaucratic screw ups to get her the help she needed.
