Suddenly Homeless

Darin Roseberry, 46, and his two daughters come to the Catholic Charities Emergency Center after being unexpectedly removed from their apartment. Though they paid their rent on time, their landlord had failed to meet his loan obligations and the building was repossessed. When Denise, 20, was told that the family would be split up and that she would be forced to live in a women's shelter, she broke down in tears.

5. I agree but also give them that months' rent...
If these people had money, they might not have ended up in a homeless shelter, they'd be able to find another apartment to rent. They're/We're being punished for living and that's not fair.

Banks are out of control and very little being done to protect us from them.

:cry:

Republicans at War with America

Thanks for the heads-up on the good family in California, WillyT. My heart has filled with tears.

4. Being the DUer known as amerikat, I feel I must respond.

Funny but I chose my DU name from many years ago. Way back in
high school the kkk put up a cross as their symbol. We tore it down.
I always ragged on the school for allowing such crap. I always crossed out
america and wrote in amerikkka(as a protest). My teachers were not so happy with that.

I fight on and you should fight on too.

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel, but I will help those folks, come hell or high water.
