Thanks to HUD and Brian Sullivan who was thunderstruck when they understood that a 101-year-old woman was put out of her home!

DETROIT — A 101-year-old woman who was evicted from her longtime Detroit home after her 65-year-old son failed to pay the mortgage is getting it back, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said Wednesday.
Texana Hollis was evicted Monday and her belongings were placed outside the home where she had lived for nearly six decades. Her son Warren Hollis said he didn’t pay the bill for several years and disregarded eviction notices.
Absolutely disgusting, how does anyone allow this to happen? Why didn’t they postpone the eviction? This is wrong and Obama needs to hear about this, one way or another. He has failed her…all Americans (not the bankers).
He is the President and he has the power to stop all of this.
Instead, it took neighbors to come to her rescue…while evicted out on the curb on a wheelchair!

DETROIT (WXYZ) – At 101-years-old, Texana Hollis is completely broken hearted.
She has good reason to be. She was evicted from her Southwest Detroit home where she has lived for the past 58 years.
In a wheelchair and suffering from high blood pressure and heart trouble – neighbors say court officers kicked her out of her home and left her sitting on the sidewalk, alongside all of her furniture and belongings.
Texana’s close friend and neighbor, Laurie Ridgell says, “We don’t even treat animals like that in the city of Detroit.”
