From OccupyHomesMN: My mom & I beat Citibank! [View all]
Email message sent out today:We did it!
With your help, my Mom and I were able to get Citibank to cancel the Sheriff’s sale and make a deal that will let us keep our home.
I am deeply grateful to everyone from across the country who stood with our family as we fought our foreclosure.
I’m inspired by the outpouring of community support, and it renews my commitment to stand with other families who are struggling to stay in their homes.
This negotiation represents a victory not just for our family, but for millions of families facing foreclosures across the country. Countless families could stay in their homes if banks simply modified their loans based on the actual market value and reduced their principal, instead of the price to which banks inflated them before they crashed our economy.
As with Monique White and Bobby Hull in Minneapolis, and others standing up across the nation, we see that when a community stands behind a family and draws attention to their case, the banks are more than capable of solving it. If they can fix it for our family, they can fix it for millions of others.
Here in Minneapolis I’ve been working alongside Alejandra and David Cruz in their fight to stop PNC Bank and Freddie Mac from taking their family home. There’s zero reason PNC and Freddie can’t give the Cruzes the same deal me and my family got from Citibank.
Will you join me in asking PNC Bank and Freddie Mac to give Alejandra and David a fair deal that will keep them in their family’s home?

On behalf of my mom Colleen and our entire family, thank you for all you did to help us,
