Evicted from her home at 93, she refuses the social services solution: “Help me, I don’t want to go to the social hotel.” Everything to do again. She seemed done but the recent meeting between 93-year-old Franca La Ganga and the social workers of the Municipality of Rimini did not go as hoped. Meanwhile, the eviction has been postponed to June 14th and if no solution is found, the lady will have to leave the no longer habitable San Giuliano apartment in June, where she has been living rented for 24 years, together with her 73-year-old daughter, Ivana Perversi . She suffered a stroke at the end of March «because she was exhausted from worries» she Franca she thought she had emerged from the nightmare, but instead time is running out and there are no alternatives on the horizon.
Mrs Franca, what went wrong?
“I cannot accept the proposal made to me by the social workers.”
What does this proposal consist of?
«Spending three months in the Torre Pedrera social hotel with my daughter waiting for further developments».
Why don’t you agree?
«What would happen if after three months there was no solution? Would we end up on the street? This, I repeat, is not an acceptable proposal. We had already refused my placement in an elderly residence so as not to be separated.”
What will he do now?
«We will continue to look for another apartment, followed by our lawyer. We have always paid the rent of 570 euros per month and we are not asking for charity: just another house in the same area, for which we can pay a maximum of 800 euros per month. We are not entitled to public housing because our ISEE of 22 thousand euros exceeds, albeit slightly, the expected threshold of 17,400. They told us that the eviction will be carried out by the police while an ambulance will transport me to a nursing home. Help us: if anyone has a small apartment for us, he should come forward.”
