Help Save Lily Washington's Home

published by Aaron Hughes on 07/12/12 1:15am
Posted to: 
Volunteer Organizing Team

Allies in the Home Defense Legue are fighting for a military mother's home and are asking for our help.

Arizona Mother and Homeowner Lilly Washington returned home from visiting her injured son in a US Military Hospital in Germany, to find that despite written confirmation from Bank of America that they would suspend their foreclosure proceedings until she returned, the bank illegally sold her home to Fannie Mae in a trustee's sale. Fannie Mae then changed the locks, and sent all of her belongings, including her son’s Purple Heart medal from his service in Iraq, to the city dump.

Despite this crushing setback, Lilly refused to give up. She moved back in and won a stay of eviction that granted the right to legally stay in her home as a renter. Now Lilly is fighting to recover ownership of her home and demand justice from Bank of America and Fannie Mae. And she needs your help.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Send a letter to Bank of America to help Lily save her home.
