April 5, News Article

http://news.yahoo.com/evicted-101-old-detroiter-gets-her-home-back-193637299.html

I just got done reading a very heartfelt article about a 101 year old woman who got evicted from her house after her husband bought it right after WWII. She got evicted 7 months ago due to foreclosure and they forced her out of her home. They said she could move back in 2 days after they evicted her, but the condition of the house was not acceptable to live in. That's where charity stepped in. Albom and his charities fixed her house up and put over 30,000 dollars into it so that almost 102 year old Hollis was able to move back in. I really liked this article because it shows how decent some people can be. They didn't even know the woman and they spent so much money and time on her just so she could have her home back. They completely re-did the inside of her house so she could live in a nice environment. I think this is a really good article to read about and I wish things like this could happen more often.
