A single mother living in the Hillsville area of Carroll County is in need of repairs on her lawn mower or of a lawn service that is within a reasonable rate.

The family would benefit from any repairs that could be maintained.

A student and his parents are evicted from their home effective April 30, 2025. The present plan for the student is to stay with his brother while parents live in their car.

The father's cell phone will be turned back on April 30th as he is searching for employment.
