One of my neighbors has been given 60 days to get out of their home. She(the mother) has been our mail lady for as many years as I have liver her. Her mother was a mail delivery person for many years in our town too. Their two sons live there. one a Desert storm vet. He drives 140 miles a day for work. Their youngest son is a Iraq war vet. He has been back since last July. Can't find work and his unemployment has run out.
The mother & dad(Grand Parents) of these folks lived on the place all their lives. The kids were all born and raised there. The father of these two war vets, is a vet himself. A few years back Grand dad got sick. He was taken to Mpls for urgent care, he was bad siick. The doctors told Grandma she needed to sign some paper work to continue grand dads care. She was not aware of what she signed.It was giving the Hosp. the right to collect their funds with a lean on their home. Well Grand dad and Grandma both lost their lives due to old age health problems.
The oldest son(Desert Storm Vet) was determined to buy the place, preventing the county from taking it. He applied for a VA loan for only $27,000. That's all he needed to get the place out of the hands of the county. The VA denied him because they all live in two mobile homes on the property.
So, three war vets and a mother were told they have 60 days to get a place to live and remove their stuff. A place that their family has lived on for 4 generations.
and to think, their are people that don't think we need a national healthcare program....just ask these folks..folks that put their lives on the line for this country. Loosing their home because grand Dad got sick and Grandma cared so much for him. She just wanted him to live, so they could spend as much time as possible together.
This is what America has become..... God help us
