Kathleen Schmidt hasn't added a story.
Hi, I’m Kathleen. Last month, my sister’s house in Gettysburg, PA, burned to the ground. My sister, Anne Marie Campbell, is a single working mother of two who was preparing to list the house for a quick sale when this occurred. Miraculously, there was no injury or loss of life, but the house and everything in it was a total loss.
The house and its contents were her only assets. Mortgage payments continue to be due each month as well as other household expenses, which apparently can’t be stopped even after your house burns down (i.e., property taxes. HOA fees and sewer bills). If she doesn't continue paying the mortgage, insurance will not give her anything on the claim and the house will go into foreclosure. If she doesn't pay the other house bills, liens will be put on the property, jeopardizing her ownership of the land. Anne does not have the financial wherewithal to continue paying the house bills while the insurance process drags along. Nor will insurance fully cover the losses. She currently cannot sell the property as planned.
If you are able, please consider contributing to help Anne recover from her losses. Any amount would be gratefully accepted and deeply appreciated as Anne works to get back on her feet. God Bless.
