This is so sad! I was shocked and thought I'd pass it on.

Below is an article I found while looking on the web.  It reads:

 

 

 

Talk about screwing up a good thing.

Extreme Makeover and Beezer Homes builds you a luxury home, gives you 100,000 dollars, paid off your mortgage, and you lose the home to foreclosure in 3 and a half years.

How the hell does that happen?

Well, it does when you do good things for people with no sense at all. To be honest these people disgust me. Hundreds donated their time and energy to get them out of a bad situation. The goodness of their neighbors was spit upon today and whatever consequences comes to this family they deserve.

Clayton County family that got the area’s first luxury remodeling job from the television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” now faces foreclosure, according to television news reports.

A foreclosure notice on the home in Lake City appeared last Friday, indicating that a $450,000 second mortgage the owners took out less than 15 months ago was in default, WSB-TV reported.

Patricia Harper, the homeowner, told WSB she and her husband had struck a deal with Chase Home Finance to rescue their “extreme” home and that there will be no foreclosure auction. Chase said they couldn’t confirm that claim. via AccessAtlanta.
