Save My Home
In 2012 I retired after 32 years at the VA hospital to help my husband out. He was losing his eyesight and could no longer drive. He died a month later on his 66th birthday. Since that time, I needed to cash out a retirement account to pay off his debts. A year later, I had major surgery and got a home equity loan to pay off that account. It has been a struggle ever since. My medications are nearly $400 per month. Now Multnomah county wants to foreclose on my house due to $12,000 in back property taxes I owe to them. I have lived in this house for almost 40 years and have so many memories of my husband and myself here. My house was built in 1964 and is a 950 square foot ranch style home, nothing big and fancy. The house I grew up in had one bedroom us four kids shared. This house means so much to me, it's all I got. I have two and one half weeks to raise some funds. I will appreciate any support you can give. I don't know where I would go if I lost my home. There is just me and my cat Stinkie living here. I had no children. Please help me save my home.
