103-Year-Old Grandmother Avoids Foreclosure After Police Sympathize

An elderly woman's prayers have been answered after JPMorgan Chase bank agreed to stop its eviction proceedings against her, allowing her to keep her home just in time for the Christmas holidays.

Vinia Hall, who soon turns 104, was faced with the unimaginable dilemma of being kicked out of her home, which even the local Sheriffs office refused to accept.

The Atlanta based grandmother is said to have lived in her beloved home for 53 years but after her grandson (the legal home owner) stopped making regular payments, she was issued an eviction notice back in 2008.

It is believed that although the notice was issued three years ago, the local Sheriff's office officially began eviction proceedings Tuesday.

According to the abcnews.com, deputies from the local Sheriff's Office were unable to follow through with the eviction, on what was described as a cold and dreary day.

The deputies empathized with a frail and aging Hall, and refused to enforce the eviction.

Hall pleaded with Chase telling WSB-TV, “Please don’t come in and disturb me no more. When I’m gone, you all can come back and do whatever they want to.”

The 103-year-old got her wish and a Chase spokesman said, “We will work out a resolution to keep them in the home,” as reported by abcnews.com.

Although Hall's 83-year-old daughter was reportedly hospitalized after difficulty breathing as a result of the attempted foreclosure, both are said to be fine and Hall attributed the favorable outcome to God.

Speaking to WSB-TV a relieved Hall said, “No, I knew that they know what they were doing. God don’t let them do wrong.”

State Senator Vincent Fort was one of many community members who gathered in support of Hall.

He referred the Wall Street Bailout in an attempt to defend Hall and as reported by abcnews.com he candidly asked, “You can get a bailout for big banks but no bailout for Big Momma?"

Hall is expected to avoid foreclosure.
