Donation protected
As seen on KCBS News - 96-year-old Sally Ann is being evicted by her assisted living facility - Cityview in Los Angeles. Sally has security cameras in her unit that have exposed how they operate (ie, don't respond to calls for help, don't provide services they charge for, don't honor their residency agreement, etc.).



Sally, who is handicapped, prepaid Cityview monthly, from March-September 2017, for base rent and services (e.g., dressing, hygiene, grooming, showers, etc.) but each month Cityview failed to provide 80% of the services they were charging for while harrassing Sally about getting rid of her security cameras. They even called her a criminal even though she provided them with written statements from the Los Angeles Police Department that stated she was doing nothing illegal by having the cameras in her unit.

Sally asked Cityview repeatedly to credit her account for the non-receipt of services her security cameras documented daily but Cityview refused and continued to invoice her for them. So Sally gave them notice, per Lanlord-Tenant law, that she would be deducting the amount she was due from future rent. When she gave them the next month's rent, minus the amount she was due as a refund ($7,500+), they wrote her a letter that said they were returning her check (they didn't) and instead served her with an unlawful detainer a week before Christmas.

Sally's on very limited funds. Fighting the eviction is  too expensive for Sally, a retired detective and 20-year CHIPS (Citizens Helping in Police Service) volunteer until age 94. 

Any donation is greatly appeciated. Her attorney's hourly is $400 and it is estimated her defense, over the next 2 weeks, will cost upwards of $10,000. 

Note: Cityview is also planning to file a second unlawful detainer against her should she win this eviction. They have written her a letter accusing her of violating her residency agreement by what they allege as inappropriate behavior. These accusations are lies. Sally was agitated for a few weeks but this was due to a severe bladder infection that Cityview failed to report, in addition to severe dehydration (Cityview was responsible for preventing) that resulted in a week-long hospitalization for a salivary gland infection.

Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and support.
Please share with everyone and anyone you think might be in a position to help.
