The story caught the attention of a local news station, and soon enough, a reporter was at Mom’s doorstep, eager to interview Granddad. He was hesitant at first, shy of the spotlight, but with a little persuasion, he agreed. The interview aired that evening, painting Linda in a harsh light and rallying more people to our cause.

Meanwhile, the lawyer began working on the legal front, exploring options to contest the eviction and secure Granddad’s rights. The community rallied around us, offering various forms of assistance, from legal advice to offers of temporary accommodation.

Back at Mom’s, Granddad seemed lighter, more at ease. He had always been the backbone of our family, and now it was our turn to be his. Penny, with her boundless energy and love, became the symbol of hope and resilience.
