From Detroit News:
Detroit— A disabled mother of six who said her family could no longer trust the city’s troubled bus service has traded her four-bedroom, three-bath, brick, Tudor house in one of the city’s nicer neighborhoods for a six-year-old minivan.
LaWanda Flake, 36, said responses to her Nov. 7 Craigslist offer flooded in from across the nation. The silver-colored 2006 Chevrolet Uplander with 85,000 miles wasn’t the most lucrative deal she was offered for the house in Russell Woods, where luminaries like Diana Ross and the rest of the Supremes once lived. But Flake made her decision with her heart.
“I had a lot of good offers, some from out of state. It turned out I took one of the first offers I got because I felt like it helped us both,” Flake said.
“They needed the house more than anyone I spoke with. They kept telling me it was a blessing to them. I really feel like I made a good decision.”
