Evicted trio thankful for being heard

Not long after being evicted for not paying rent, three handicapped tenants watched their belongings pile up on the front lawn.

Two disabled tenants along with a third tenant, evicted from their Bridgeport home now have a warm place to stay for the next few nights thanks to one generous stranger.

One of the women is wheelchair bound and Wiberg suffers from cerebral palsy, and uses a walker. After the story aired on News 8, Patricia Savanella, the President of Trinity Insurance Group wanted to help. The trio said they are extremely thankful.

The state of Connecticut paid enough for the trio to stay at Rodeway Inn in Stratford for one night. Savanella put up enough money for the trio to be able to stay at the Rodeway Inn until Tuesday. Savanella also paid for meal expenses. She didn't want to see the trio spend another long day waiting around with unanswered questions.
