A 102-year-old woman facing eviction from her California home of nearly 30 years is getting help from Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Los Angeles Times reports Thelma Smith was given until June 30 to move out by landlords who say their daughter needs a place to live.But Smith, a retired secretary for the Sugar Ray Robinson Youth Foundation, lives in an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County, just outside the city limits. The law doesn't apply there.
Schwarzenegger, who knew Smith through his involvement with the charity, called the eviction"heartless." He tweeted:"Imagine doing this to a 102-year-old woman who gave back to the community her whole life."
