Bev and Warren Sweeney used to own a home in the Valley but sold it when they downsized. They missed living here and returned 3 years ago and have been renting a home. They recently received notice that they have to leave so repairs can be done to the home. The Sweeneys are in their 80's and they are worried as they can not find another home to rent. We are putting out a blast to help this local couple. Does anyone know of a home in Trout Valley or somewhere nearby that is available to rent? They need to be out in 30 days, so there is some urgency to this situation. We can vouch that they are wonderful people. Please respond if you have any information/contacts. Thank you!
