Disappointed

I really don’t know which is more disappointing. Loosing the house on October 30 or not being able to find 165,000 people willing to donate $1.00 to a fellow human being. I’ve contacted TV stations, radio stations, news papers, corporations, politicians, even people on the street. I’ve sent out hundreds of emails and I have to say the return has been really pathetic.
The estimated population of Massachusetts in 2006 was 6,437,193. If only 1 out of every 40 people in my own state donated $1.00 I would have enough money to save the house.
The estimated population for the entire US in 2006 was 299,398,484. That amounts to one person out of every 1814.
Donations that I’ve received from countries outside the United States have accounted for almost 1/3 of all the donations I’ve gotten to date. Have we as a nation become so stingy that we can spend $1.00 in gas to drive to our favorite coffee shop for a cup of coffee but we can’t make a charitable gesture to our fellow man?
Our house has become more than just a home to us; it’s become a symbol of our being able to triumph over a fraudulent monster that’s preying on ordinary people. People like us, people like you. How can you not care? How many of you out there are saying, there but for the grace of God go I? That’s happening to me now, that happened to me and I wish someone had stood up then or I know someone who’s in that situation. When someone stands up and says ‘Enough! I’m not going to let these people get away with taking advantage of me or anyone else like me any more.” We should rally around that person and show some support. I’ve seen very little support. I’ve gotten sympathy, thank you very much but I don’t need your sympathy. I have asked over and over, if you can’t or won’t donate a dollar, please give us some publicity, Talk about us, create a link to us from your web site, contact your local news paper or TV station and suggest they do a story about us. I’ve also asked that any media that covers us asks the people listening or watching to contact us if they’re being victimized by a foreclosure rescue scam. We will do what we can to help you.
When did an obtuse 19 year old woman with a blinking circuit board and a wad of clay become more news worthy than an average citizen taking on modern day gangsters who are bilking thousands of people out of millions of dollars?
