Outpouring of Help for Family Forced to Leave Home--The Atlanta Constitution

A family from Gwinnett County that has shared a house for six years with a husband and a wife and their daughter, mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law. The house was declared unlivable by a city inspector on Tuesday. An April storm sent a tree crashing into the living room and a bedroom of the modular home, leaving holes in the roofline and unstable walls, said Burny Agee, building officer for the City of Sugar Hill. The family told their landlord, Bertha Botello, of the problems, but the landlord made excuses for herself. The wife stated that the landlord said, "It’s your house, you guys can deal with it." Her family had already paid for tree removal and for tarps to cover the damaged roof as well as the furnace after living for two years without heat or air conditioning and the hot water heater. With the help of local churches and neighbors the family has been put up in a hotel until they find a new home. A lawyer has even offered his services FREE of charge.
I find it unbelievable how careless one person can be while a whole community comes together to help this family. This lady should be charged for everything that family paid for. THEY RENTED, not owned! I think it's so remarkable how the community put together the hotel for them. It really shows how thoughtful some people are and how fast a community can really come together.
