Mary is an elderly female who was interested in finding two roommates for her 3BR apartment.  She wanted to charge $1,000 per room.  After being introduced to Gloria, who could afford only $700, Mary decided to reduce the rent and invited Gloria to live with her.  The two enjoyed each other’s company so well that Mary decided against an additional roommate.   Mary and Gloria have been matched for two years.
