Urgent Help Needed for Peggy's Mortgage Crisis

Hi, I'm Peggy.

7 years ago, I came to New Orleans looking for a fresh start, and this city has become my home.

I've built a life here, friends, community, and a place where my menagerie and I feel safe.

But of course, right now I'm in a tight situation.

There was a payment for my mortgage that was made in April by another party that I am in partnership with, and I thought that everything was fine. But the payment didn't clear, and I wasn't informed of that fact until the next payment was due. Imagine my shock.

I was able to cover the May and June payments, but I still had the other payment hanging over my head. The other party gave me a partial payment, but if I'm covering the whole other payment, where was I supposed to find the missing money?

I was trying to hold on till my finances got better in the fall, and I would be able to pay the deficit.

But then here came July. And it was financially horrible for me. And now I'm on the hook for 2 months, and the mortgage company says that the only way I can get current is by sending the 2 past months plus the current month. And there's honestly no way I can do that in the time I have.

So this is my story. It's truly hard for me to ask for help, but if the menagerie and I are going to stay in our home, we need help.

If you could give anything at all, it would mean the world to me. Every little bit gets me closer to getting back on track.

Even if you can't give, sharing this with others would be a huge help.

Thank you for reading and caring.

Peggy.
