Fire does not deter motel owner trying to help the homeless
Fire does not deter motel owner trying to help the homeless By John Fitzhugh | January 11, 2021 at 6:19 PM CST - Updated January 11 at 7:09 PM
GULFPORT Miss. (WLOX) - No good deed goes unpunished.
A Gulfport motel owner may be feeling that way on Monday after a fire was set in one of the rooms he rented to a homeless woman at a discount rate.
“We try to give them a discount and we just try to help them out so they don’t have to stay in this cold weather like 40 degrees and they don’t want to get freeze up,” said Hitesh Bhalavat, owner of the Super 8 motel on Highway 49 in North Gulfport. “So we try to help them out, but look at what happened.”
