| I'm desperate. I need some serious Prayers Hi all. I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't in total despair. I know we all have our fun here, but something serious has been happening in my personal life. I really need some prayers from my friends here. So I will give you a short version of the story (I need to tell someone, it's driving me crazy). 4 days before Christmas, my brother in law was arrested for some white colar crime. He maintains that he did nothing wrong and his attorney is now unconvering that he has been telling the truth all along. But they have to wait for the trial. Anyways, my sister has been a stay at home mom, and now they're trying to pin her for conspiracy. Some my only family is falling apart before my eyes. Now the bank wants to take my parents house. So not only do we have to come up with $60,000 in a couple of weeks, to pay for the attorneys for my sister and her husband, but also the real estate attorney so that my parents don't loose their house. Of course all of our savings were cleared out for the first half of the attorneys fees in the beginning. We don't have any family, so it's just us. So all we're praying for is a miracle to happen. My dad just had 2 heartattacks from all the stress. The only one who entertains us is my 3 year old nephew and Coco. The reason I'm bringing it up now is because I can't take it anymore. We just keep getting bad news upon bad news. So please send some prayers my way, I really need them. Thanks for listening and letting me vent.

| Wow, I'm so sorry. I hope your family is ok. Maybe your parents can take out a loan? Just a thought.

| They can't take out a loan because of what's happening to their house. I wish we could, that would make it so much less stressful.

| It's terrbible when innocent people have to suffer. Can they maybe arrange some type of payment schedule? or do they have to hand over the money in one lump sum?

| Im not sure how to cover the legal fees that already exist but what about going to legal aid and getting any attorney free of charge? Please keep us posted on the outcome. I wish only the best for you and your family!

| Oh I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I will definately pray for you and your family that this issue gets resolved quickly and that you all find peace and comfort and stay in good health. I'm glad you at least have your little coco and nephew to comfort you, sometimes they are the only things that can bring a smile to your face. While I can't begin to understand what you are going through, I am always here if you need to talk. I'm sorry I didn't understand -- Does the bank want to take your parent's house because of the crime they say your brother committed? If so, I can't see them formally proceeding on any action until he has gone to court and been convicted. If they are trying to repo the house for failure to pay, your parents might consider doing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy or chapter 7 (depending on the laws in your state). Chapter 13 will typically allow them to keep their house as long as they are not so far behind and without the other debt burdening them, they could make the payment easier.

| No my brother in law owned a mortgage company. So since my parents house was under the umbrella of his company, the bank and DA's think the house or my parents were somehow also involved. So their credit and mine (my name was also on the house incase something happened to them) is destroyed, so no chance for a loan. We've tried to approach legal aid but they say the case is too complicated for them. We've been dealing with this for 6 months now, I've lost over 15 lbs, just from the stress and I can't handle my family being torn to bits like this. We've never had any problems with the law, EVER. Not even so much as a traffic ticket. I am grateful for whatever health we have left but it's getting to me and I can't take the stress anymore.

| Sending prayers...BUT why do they want to take yoiur parents house?...are they saying that your brother put "illegal" money into the house or something..or are they being foreclosed on from helping with legal fees? If so I was going to also suggest legal aid...what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

| They think that my brother in laws company played around with the money from my parents' house. So my parent's real estate attorney is trying to prove that neither my brother in law nor the company had no money in this house, that my parents paid it all on their own. You would think that would be easy to prove, but the attorney is taking forever, so he can get more money.

Too complicated? THEY ARE F'N ATTORNEY"S! If they cant handle it then they have NO need for a law degree. 15 pounds? Holy crap. Not only is that LOT to lose at once, you;re already so tiny. I wish I had some words of wisdome but sadly, I dont. i have gone through similiar experiences and I know how hard it is. It may not be much, but you have friends here who care about you and are here when you need a shoulder to cry on!

| At times like this I wish I would have went to school to be a lawyer instead of a social worker. All the advice I can give you is to keep yourself healthy. In order to be there for everyone else you need to take care of yourself. You know you have lots of prayers being said for you by your YT friends. Coco is a great stress buster most of time I am sure, but find something the two of you can do together, walks, puppy play groups. Keep yourself healthy, then you can help in the little ways your family needs you. You are in my prayers. Reading and laughing on here helps too I am sure so you need lots of doses of Yorkietalk!
