Vilma Logan, she's the 72-year-old Albert resident whose wooden home tumbled down in Hurricane Lisa.
10 days ago a neighbor alerted us to her plight in the hope that someone would give the senior citizen a new home - since she was forced to sleep on the concrete floor of a neighbor's home.
And, the story did touch one businessman with a heart who asked us to bring her to his office today. Now, most stories on the news have a sad ending, but this one definitely doesn't:
Today Viola Logan cried when she got the news that she would be getting a new home.

"When the man told me I don't have to worry about nothing and when he told me that, I felt so happy. I cry and all."
The donor? A businessman who prefers to remain anonymous. But he and his family were moved by her story.

"He said when he heard that I worked at the Mercy Kitchen for 10 years and he spoke to his son and told his son that he has to build a house for this lady, because she helped people."
"I feel so good and happy that everything is coming through for me."
Coming through in a very big way to replace the wreckage wrought by Lisa - to make sure this doesn't recur:
Vilma Logan, Will Get a New House
"He said that he will build a cement house 6 foot off the ground. And I appreciate that and he said that he will put everything in there for me, so that I don't have to worry about nothing. He will put bathroom, dining room, hall, kitchen, a big bedroom and so I am happy."
Jules Vasquez
"So by let's say mid-April after Easter you should be in your new house."

"I am so happy. Mr. Jules, I don't know how much to thank you and this man and he is a very nice man. I thought it was somebody who would ask me a lot of questions. I don't have to worry again about nothing. I get everything come through and God bless me."
The City Council is slated to first clean out her lot and then construction on the concrete home will begin immediately.
