Lewiston, Maine, Couple Moves from Car to Rooming House with Community Support
A homeless couple in Lewiston, Maine, Kathy Savage and her companion Patrick, along with their dog Lucky, have transitioned from living in their Subaru to a rooming house. This move was facilitated by family members, an anonymous social worker, and significant community generosity. Over $2,000 was raised through a GoFundMe campaign, which helped cover the cost of towing their car and securing their new living arrangements. The couple had been living in their Subaru at a Burger King parking lot on Lisbon Street since losing their apartment in early June. Their situation gained public attention after a neighbor, identified as 'Frank,' began providing them with food and gasoline and notified the media. The subsequent news story on October 14 led to an outpouring of public support, including food, gasoline, and supplies for their dog.
