There was a heart warming story in the local news this week. Seems a family of 8 was facing foreclosure of their home if they didn't come up with $1005. Having been unemployed until recently, the newly employed dad wouldn't have received pay enough in time.
This family of 8 lives in a double wide mobile home on five rural acres. They came up with a plan. They announced a yard sale to save their home. They would have a yard sale, and sell everything they own, anything they had that anyone was willing to buy.
Their story hit the newspaper, and the rest is history. People showed up for two days, not to buy their few earthly possessions, but to make donations. The family raised three times the amount needed, in spite of their efforts to decline donations once they had the sum they needed.
In another heartwarming twist, the homeowners plan to partner with local churches to use their windfall to assist local elderly with services such as house cleaning.
