Chambersburg Public Opinion
A homeless great grandmother wishes she could personally thank the many people who have helped keep a roof over her head for the past month.
It started with the Pennsylvania State Police posting a Tweet about a trooper paying for Angelika Metz, 75, to stay the night at a Motel 6 in Chambersburg about a week before Christmas. No homeless shelter would allow her beloved elderly dog to enter.
Then, other strangers paid for more nights in the hotel and contributed to a fundraiser to get her into a rental home.
She s still at the hotel and doing so-so, she said, but Metz has high hopes that she will be in her own home soon.

Angelika Metz was broken and out of options a week before Christmas.
The 75-year-old grandmother had spent the past year moving from hotel to hotel, shelling out as much as $700 a week from her dwindling bank account, never having enough money at one time to get into a rental. She said it started when she lost her home of 17 years when the owner of her mobile home park lost the property, and she was unable to move her trailer somewhere else.
