In January the Journal wrote about the residents of the Aiy-yu-kwee Mobile Home Park in Blue Lake who were being evicted from their homes. One of those residents, Hellen Studdert, has written an update about the situation.

Well, it looks like it’s too late to save our homes, but thanks to the community for their donations. They have helped some of us who need it to move.

I had a meeting with Arla and she told me, if I could be out of my trailer before April 30, have my storage shed gone by May 15th, and my trailer put into someone else’s name, she would give me $5000. She would give me some pallets to put in my yard to put things on so I could have the yard sale the first weekend of May.
