She’s been waiting to fix her car after a tree fell on top of it.

Nestora Cortez lives was asleep in her apartment last Saturday when she heard a knocking on her door.

It was a police officer who informed her about the tree.

Later in the morning, Cortez took pictures of the scene and her relatives arrived to help cut branches to get to her vehicle.

Her car was left with dents and is covered with scratches.

Cortez spoke with the complex manager of the Rosemont of Highland Gardens Apartments, asking if they would do anything about the damages.
