PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Following the heartbreaking story highlighting the growing eviction crisis out of Vancouver, a glimmer of hope shines for one family.

Last week, KOIN 6 News broke the story about a couple in their 80s left to pick up the pieces after they were removed from their home of 15 years.

Since then, the community has stepped in, offering support that has made a huge difference for the veteran, his wife, their son, and their 9-year-old grandson, who all occupied the home.

"I don't have a place to live now. But it's been really gracious what these people are doing," said Tom Berg, who is 82 and disabled.

His wife, 83, said the outpouring of support has given the family hope amid the heartbreak.

"Thank you, I mean words can't express our appreciation," said Marlene Berg.
