EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — An 88-year-old woman said she has about a month to make repairs to her mobile home or face eviction. Rita Yorgensen lives in Casa Mobil Home Park in Northeast El Paso.

Yorgensen said she lives on a fixed income and has no credit. The mobile home she rents needs roof repairs -- but she said she can't afford it.

She said she has to make repairs by Oct. 12 or she will be evicted.

A local repair company, Top Dog Roofing TX, created a GoFundMe to raise money for Yorgensen's repairs.

ABC-7 reached out to Casa Mobil's property manager to speak about its standard eviction and repair protocols.
