Neighbours helped a retired teacher
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a retired school teacher, Anne Glancey, one day received an invoice that she was going to be fined up to $3,000 (GHC 18,000) daily for all the repairs that needed to be done on her house.
The development made the woman really confused as she did not know where to get that kind of sum since she had no family or friends.
Adam and Kristin Polhemus were the only neighbours she had known for five years. The woman took the letter to them and they helped her find a solution.
