It's not so much the frustration of Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) paving over her home of 40 years for a massive traffic project...

Most urgently, it's a practical question that has caused her to lose weight and spend most nights awake: Where are she and the seven family members who live with her going to live? With a reverse mortgage on her house, ODOT's $196,000 offer, plus relocation fees, will go straight to the lenders, leaving her homeless.
