Description
At 101 years old, Ernestine Pinner is one of Indiana's few centenarians.
She's lived in her home on the near north side of Indianapolis in the historic Martindale–Brightwood neighborhood for 65 years.
Her daughter, Karen Turner, said Pinner refuses to move out even though she can no longer afford the home repairs and upkeep.
"I just do what I can to make her comfortable," Turner said.
But after storms damaged the aging house, Turner says she found Home Repairs for Good in 2021.
"I was at wits end after I contacted the insurance company and was unable to get any help. Then, they were able to come in and help out," Turner said.
