May 17 (Day 78) There's No Place Like Home

  

The Foreclosure Angel Foundation was born when Marilyn Mock saw a need in November of 2008 to help her neighbor who was about to lose her home. With no where else to turn but the streets, their home went up on the auction block. Marilyn bought the home at the auction price and sold it right back to the owners at the now lower cost. Marilyn had a keen sense that “It could be me in that situation.” One major life change could rip her family from their home too.

Ever the optimist, Marilyn thought that others in her community who saw this need would surely step up and help. She took desperate letters from families losing their homes to a function where her friends and acquaintances had expendable income. Marilyn was shocked when they didn’t even want to see the letter, much less offer any help. At that point, Marilyn once again had another layer of her rose colored glasses ripped away, but this time she became determined. She believed that the American spirit of neighbors helping neighbors would win out. She knew that her new life mission would be to help her fellow Americans keep their homes when they had no other place to go.

Each and every donation made to the Foreclosure Angel Foundation helps to meet the needs of families in your community that are struggling to keep their homes. When these families lose their homes, their only alternative may be living on the street or in their car. This often leaves children without a place to sleep and a way to get to school. Each applicant is treated as an individual, and thus there are many different ways which Foreclosure Angel Foundation can help.

Foreclosure Angel Foundation may: 

• Pay the applicant’s property taxes to help them remain in the home.
• Provide a deposit on an apartment for an applicant who has been through foreclosure and no longer qualifies for credit.
• Help a family catch up on mortgage payments after or through a period of unemployment.
• Be the mortgage company for applicants who have small mortgage amounts that do not qualify for a bank mortgage.
• Provide temporary assistance to make partial mortgage payments when an unexpected death or illness prevents creates a monetary deficit. 

The economic condition of our country, state, and city begins with each individual. We should look into our own community first and help those who are suffering. As we unite to help our neighbors, we become the stimulus to end the disease of greed which is tearing families apart. The influx of information through television and the internet has desensitized us to the suffering in our own community. We can no longer rely on “someone else” to help the needy in our community. Your donation to the Foreclosure Angel Foundation will save the hopes, dreams, marriages, and even lives of countless families right next door.
