Our Home Tragically Destroyed, Help Us Rebuild

You can read more about our story in the Bethlehem PA February issue of "The Morning Call".

The article below is entitled: “Why did Bethlehem demolish this home? A family saddled with debt and searching for answers” 02/22/2023.

We were forced to pack up 20 years of our lives within a span of 2 weeks.

My wife and I, who spent 20 years building a life and loving home for our children and grandchildren, saw it unfairly demolished with very little warning. Our Bethlehem, PA duplex shared a wall with a neighboring home who for at least a year the city knew was severely damaged. However, my wife and I had no idea until we received a letter in August 2022 that our home was being condemned along with the neighboring home.

We were forced to leave many things behind which got demolished and moved into a basement apartment in Allentown, PA which is more expensive than our mortgage payment. Adding insult to injury, because the city didn't inform the bank of their findings, we're faced with continuing to pay the mortgage on the destroyed non-existent house.

Diane and I both have compromised health and are living on a fixed income. We need financial support to purchase and furnish a new home. I pray that God will inspire you to help us.

Any assistance you provide is deeply appreciated. Thank you.
