Barbara
Beves, a 61 year old Inala resident, was given notice that she was being
evicted from her home of 22 years, as the owner planned to develop the
property. A frail pensioner, the sudden news of her eviction left Mrs
Beves fearing that she would be left homeless and fending for herself on the
streets.
Mrs
Beves has had six heart bypass surgeries, and problems with her lungs mean that
she must be connected to an oxygen machine 16 hours a day. She takes
comfort in her beloved three Maltese terrier dogs, Brooke, Ricky and Dino who
are like children.
"I've
contacted four real estate agents and they've told me I do not fit the criteria
for another rental because of my finances and the dogs," she said.
"If
I can't have my babies with me then I'd rather not be here."
Thankfully,
official from the Queensland Department of Communities offered Mrs Beves a
one-bedroom home in Oxley.
The
team at Your Local Movers, after hearing of the plight, were moved and were
quick to offer their service free of charge to assist Mrs Beves in her
relocation.
"We
are only too happy to help Barbara, providing our full moving service including
packing, boxes, bubble wrap and packaging, transport and our handyman service
to set up everything in her new home."
"Your
Local Movers is in the business of moving fragile itmes, and nothing is more
precious than our elderly. We are really happy that we will be able to
help Barbara during this tough time."
Barbara
broke down when she heard the news of the community support.
"I
can live again," she said. 'You find out who your friends are in
these situations. A lot of people have been so kind to me. I love
the for what they've done for an old lady and I can never repay them, but I am
so grateful."
Your
Local Movers is a carbon neutral company, and they are also great supporters of
Brisbane based children's charity, Be a Hero Australia. They are constantly on
the lookout for ways they can support the local community.
"We
take corporate responsibility very seriously, we are all about helping our
local community."
