An 89-year-old woman was evicted from her home — then her neighbor bought it so she could move back in

If you need something to warm the cold cockles of your heart today, look no further: After a Florida woman was evicted from her home, her neighbor bought it and gave it back.

Several years earlier, 89-year-old Angie Tyma sold her home to someone who then became her landlord. But when the new owner suddenly stopped paying the mortgage, it went to foreclosure.

"They threw me out," she said in an interview with TODAY. "I couldn't believe it."

Tyma’s neighbor, Danielle Calder, decided to buy the house back for $167,500, after Angie had been leaving in Day’s Inn for three weeks.

"Quite honestly, I didn't need another house," Calder said. "But I needed her. I couldn't see her living in a motel room...she's been here so long. Everyone looks out for her."

Calder will now serve as Tyma’s new landlord.

Tyma moved back home on her 89th birthday, and she said it was the best birthday present she’d ever received.

Calder shrugged off praise for what she did. “It was the right thing to do. We’re family — the whole neighborhood,” she said.
