Widowed at 67, Judy was forced to move from her long-time farmhouse when her late husband’s employer needed the property back.
Her daughter offered her a basement apartment for $800 a month, but it required climbing stairs and providing four days of childcare.
Seeking true independence, Judy found a manageable small cottage for $550 a month through a local feed store notice.
Accepting the keys to her new home, Judy celebrated a fresh start filled with dignity, freedom, and the peace of living on her own terms.
