Dear Mr. President;
I would like to introduce myself to you; I am a 51 year old, female, currently living in Hudson, North Carolina. I have been
a long time, diehard republican who voted for you because I believed in you. I believe in what you stand for and all your
hopes and dreams for this country.
Unfortunately, in August of 2010, I lost my job through no fault of my own and have been unemployed since. Also, I am newly divorced and have no other income at this time.
I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as lupus and other ailements associated with both. I have not been to a doctor in over a year and am not on any of my prescribed medicines because I cannot afford to see a doctor or pay for my prescriptions.
I have been denied unemployment, medicaid, welfare, disability and any other assistance available. I do
however, receive food stamps.
Currently I have exhausted all savings, IRA funds, as well as pawned anything of value.
Last Friday, October 21 st I received a call from my Mortgage- Chase Home finance, that I was denied a
mortgage modification and that they are requesting a "short sale" or to start foreclosure proceedings.
Mr. President, I purchased my home 6 years ago and put over 70,000 of inheritence into my home to avoid a large mortgage payment. I hoped to leave my home to my children as I have nothing else left
from my parents. I have an FHA mortgage and they have told me that I need at least l3,000 to make my
mortgage current in order to reapply for a modification.
I have been actively looking for work everyday, I have agencies looking as well as friends and family.
I cannot pay what I do not have but am willing to work with my mortgage company anyway possible.
In the interim of this year, I have met someone who now lives with me and is willing to help me with bills
but this enormous deficit is too much. I have requested that they modify my loan and put the deficit at the
end of the loan and am told that they cannot do that.
Please Mr. President, don't let them take my home. This is all I have. In this great country of ours I do not
see how this is happening. I have worked all my life. I have paid my bills all along until this terrible tragedy happened. Here in North Carolina there is limited available work and I cannot afford to move to a different state.
I have been asked by friends, " why don't you just move to Canada." i tell people because I am an
American and this is my home!
This experience has been very humbling as I come from a fairly affluent upbringing. My former husband also was fairly well off. I have now been on food pantry lines, begging assistance to pay my power bill and gone to bed hungry, scared and hopeless.
Please, I believe in you and what you are trying to do for this country. If there is anything you can do to help please do so.
Respectfully,
Amelia Peckne
