HELP SAVE MY FAMILY HOME
Donation protected
When I was in early elementary school, we lived in the City of Chester, Delaware County, PA. My parents saw the neighborhood changing and not for the better. They scrimped and save. Dad worked his behind off at Sun Ship. Eventually they were able to buy a piece of land and build what would become home to three rowdy kids, in a better school system and far safer area. I've lived most my life in this home.
After Dad passed away, Mom became terminally ill. She wanted only two things...first, to pass away at home and second, that I have the house. However, Mom was a stickler for everything being equal between siblings. So she changed the will and gave me three years in which to sell the home I had in Coatesville and buy out my brothers' interests. It took all three years as selling a home in Coatesville is no easy feat. I was able to honor this wonderful woman's one wish, but due to a stroke, was unable to have her pass at home.
Some would say, "It's just a house." But that's wrong. It's a home. My home. It's were I look around each day and see all the touches my parents so lovingly applied. On many occasions, those who were without a home found shelter and meals here until they were able to get on their feet.
Due to an unfortunate series of lay-off and company closures, I fell behind in the mortgage payments. Gainfully employed delivering for Amazon for almost two years, I'm now able to make the monthly payments, but have run out of time to pay what is in arears. Thursday, 2/8/2018, I received the bank's letter of intent to foreclose. The only way to stop the foreclosure is to pay $8743.41. So, as embarrassing and mortifying as this is, I'm begging for your help to save my family home and all the memories it holds by donating what you can and passing this to as many people as possible. We do not live above our means, and I've not had a vacation since 2007. We live paycheck to paycheck like so many others. I'm not squandering my money, nor will I squander yours. Thank you.
