Hello, friends, neighbors, and kind strangers. My name is Susan, and I am writing this with a heavy heart and a sense of desperate urgency to save my home in Haywood County, Western North Carolina.

We are currently facing foreclosure by the county due to overdue property tax debt.

The attorney representing the county is Mark A. Pinkston. I have been clearly told that my only path now is to pay the debt in full. I urgently need to raise the total outstanding amount of $6,245.00 to stop the legal process and protect the only home I have.

I have pursued all legal assistance options, but the foreclosure process is too far along. Now, this fundraiser is my last resort to keep my home.

We do not have a set public auction date yet, but the foreclosure judgment has been filed with the court.

The sale of my home could be scheduled at any moment by Haywood County. Every day this debt goes unpaid, the total amount increases due to accumulating interest and legal fees.

In North Carolina, the law allows me to redeem the property (stop the foreclosure) by paying the full payoff amount before the sale is confirmed. That short window is closing rapidly. We need the support of our WNC community and beyond to act now before the date is set and it is too late.

Where Your $6,245 Will Go:

100% of these funds will be paid directly to the Haywood County Tax Office via the attorney, Mark A. Pinkston, Van Winkle Law.

This amount covers all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and the legal court fees incurred to date.

This payment is the sole solution that will legally halt the foreclosure action.

Saving this home means keeping the stability and security I have worked my whole life for.

If you can spare $10, $50, or any amount, please know you are directly preventing a Haywood County neighbor from losing their home. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign immediately with your network. Sharing is just as vital.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for giving me this final chance.
