I just did something I never thought I would

2 days before Halloween My mother had a stroke. At the moment she's in rehab. She has not had it easy these last few years. Due to National City bank, she was forced to declare bankruptcy in 2005. In doing so she had to pay $800.00 a month or she would lose her house. She only gets $1,200 a month in her pennsion, S.S. and Dad's check. 3 checks but only that little. So being that it was between paying that or her bill's she lost her heat and water and barely makes the electric bill. She has a hole in her roof that has already collapsed part of the bathroom ceiling. When she asked the bankruptcy trustee to suspend her payments so she could get caught op on the repairs he discharged her from the bankruptcy and threw her to the so called mercy of National City. Who by the way has never accounted for the 4 years of payments she made before going under. In fact, whne that first started to foreclose on her, she had went to see them and ask them why and they refused to even talk to her! Now, at 82 she has a stroke and those bastards are demanding that she owes still $40,000, the loan was for only $38,000 and have said the they would settle for $20,000 to go away to be paid all at once! Neither she or I have that kind of money. So I have taken the step of going on line and asking for help, cyber begging they call it. I makes me very uneasy to ask total strangers for help but short of stealing it I don't know where else to turn. Will post a picture of her in my next entry.
