CHICAGO (WLS) The ABC7 I-Team has a heartwarming update after $23,000 was stolen from a local man s savings account.
When viewers saw how his savings was drained by criminals, they stepped up to help him recoup some of the devastating loss. I m overwhelmed to be embraced by the love of strangers, said Edward Swanigan. He and his daughter Vernette are touched by the generosity of strangers who watched the I-Team report days before Christmas.
Last year, $18,000 was stolen from Swanigan s Chase bank account plus there were $5,000 in overdraft charges. It s taken a big toll, I m really depressed, Swanigan told the I-Team last month.
