East Coast Radio - Catch Up Stacey & J Sbu

Stacey and J Sbu share a life changing feel good story with KZN!

Today's story was about a New York Housekeeper who had worked for an apartment building for at least 20 years- she fell on hard times due to the pandemic. She had lost her housing. She had been furloughed from her job but kept showing up to work.

The residents of the building had grown so fond of Rosa that they all chipped in to pay the rent for her to live in the building for the next two years and anyone who knows anything about rent in New York will let you know that, that rent did not come cheap.

Rosa was shown into the newly remodelled penthouse of the building and she thought that she was being asked to clean it: She was shown the bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two terraces…before it was then revealed that it was hers for the next two years. Rosa was of cuase beside herself with excited disbelief.
