Kristen Thometz | July 14, 2021 4:47 pm (WTTW News) Chatham resident Edrika Fulford knows what it’s like to be homeless. After quitting her job as a family case manager to take care of her ailing mother, Fulford became homeless in 2015. She had by that point lost her mother as well. Thanks to our sponsors: “When I experienced homelessness, I was just dumbfounded,” she said. “I got a college degree. I know this is not supposed to be happening. I was wandering, I was sleeping on the train, and I would get up and wash up like in McDonald’s or White Castle – whatever little restaurant.”
