    On top of that my (son, daughter, wife) has (fallen ill, suffered an accident) and the medical expenses has taken all of our savings.

    I am doing my best to maintain afloat and have been working on different jobs since, but it doesn’t even comes close to the amount of money I used to make. That, along with the rising on mortgage payments, made my financial situation extremely difficult, as I never have experienced before.


    Our family home is very important, and with your help and the bail out money the government has issued to banks in order to reduce mortgage payments and help struggling homeowners like me, I am sure I will be able to save my home from foreclosure.

    Enclosed, please find documents that will prove my hardship at this moment. (Include pink slips, medical bills, bank statements, late notices,... and any other document that will prove hardship.)

    I am humiliated and ashamed for being in this position and have no choice but to ask for your help in this matter.
