I have been stripped down to nothing twice in the process of already dealing with my own mental state and problems to only have things over turned. From me first thinking (knowing based on agreement with Sharon and the letter I wrote) I was walking away with nothing giving Habitat this house back avoiding foreclosure and writing you guys a letter stating this and our agreement to only receive a letter after I vacated that foreclosure proceedings were happening but you guys would not put it on my credit. Come on.....I may be suffering right now because the stress I have on me along with the health issues and habitat unfulfilled agreements but I'm not a dummy. I filed bankruptcy and came back to start all over with nothing.

Second time now here I am 2 years later still trying to recover with a bankruptcy on my credit because decisions were changed last minute not by me, unable to get any help an opportunity to sale this house and we both benefit, an agreed to offer signed sales contract and right before closing another over turned agreed to decision. I lost everything and I now have 2 bankruptcies on my credit in 2 years starting over again with nothing but rear debt mainly from Habitat and its my fault. No I only listened to what was told to me.

Imagine finding out over a month later things have changed and you guys now require an additional 100,000 plus dollars than what is owed and I'm responsible for all fees. I been in this house through my twenties and thirties. Never was easy but I what I gained I did alone. To strip that of me twice with unfulfilled agreements after all I been through and its ok. I just get additional mortgage fee, another bankruptcy and too much for me to take while trying to start over in the heat because I was expecting to move until Jasmine called and stated that the board would not accept the agreed to price that her and Sharon provided and I agreed to before signing my sales contract days before closing after my house was 90% empty no where to sleep appliances and no explanation outside of the board won't agree to an already agreed to decisions. You all are wrong and its no other way around it. I'm paying for your lack of confirmations and all I get is a "well you sale it or we take it anyway" really.

Took me a lot to write this to you all I been contacting everyone else but I'm getting tired and I should be able to tell Habitat what your decisions have done to me. If this is a part of helping your community wow. Right now mentally I'm done all my stuff gone and I'm taking stuff off the street just to rebuild you guys want even more than you've given and to put someone through this. I don't want to hear from Jasmine or Sharon in regards to this because clearly what I listen to and receive via email is not acceptable or is it?

What if it was you BOTH TIMES. Starting all over again 2 times 2 years same place because of someone else's error.....

I came across ESF on Facebook and volunteered at their recent event with Habitat for Humanity. The event was fun. We helped raise the walls of a home. And it was nice because the family we were building the home for was there.

Need help?
