Update on my friend's situation with WellsFargo [View all]

Last edited Mon Sep 24, 2012, 10:21 AM - Edit history (4)

A few weeks back I posted a couple threads about WellsFargo foreclosing on my friend Cindi who is battling a recurrence of stage four breast cancer. There's a good chance she might not make it this time.

Edit to add: here's a link to the backstory: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021214740

On top of that, worse came to the worst:

She and her husband Kirk are faced with a choice: either pay for the only effective drug out of pocket because their insurance company refuses to pay for it or make full mortgage payments. Before making that choice, they approached WellsFargo many times to work out a plan. They went through the same horrible story: the paperwork was lost, they had to start over, there was someone new on the case who didn't know the situation, ad nauseam.

Here's a link to the video I posted before: http://www.wcnc.com/video/featured-videos/Wells-Fargo-to-cancer-patient-Weve-reached-out-to-nonprofits-167507775.html

A week ago, the sheriff showed up on the doorstep with papers.

I was really surprised that both threads sank like a stone on DU. I'm going to try one more time to see if I can stir any human feeling at all.


Hey ya'll! Just wanted to pop in and let ya know that I'm still here and kicking. Things have been really wild crazy around here lately. There have been 2 follow up stories on the news about WellsFargo refusing to do a work out plan with us. I was contacted by someone from the White House (yeah that White House) about an angry email I sent in regards to the government bailing out the banks but this one not helping to bail me out. The Dept of the Treasuray is now investigation Wells! Our story has been picked up by ABC News and we are suppose to be on the Dr.Drew show on Monday to talk about what is going on! PHEW! Oh, and someone donated $10,000.00 to the trust a friend set up!!! Here's a link to the blog.spot another friend set up that has all the links to the craziness!


I've known Cindi and Kirk for over ten years. These are good, honest, hardworking people. Kirk is a former marine who works an extended shift to try to keep up, then rushes home to care for Cindi. They're both exhausted from trying to survive. It hurts so much to see them struggling so much and not being able even to hang on.

If you'd like to help, if you can chip in at all, here's where you can go: http://hopeforcindi.blogspot.com/

Please, DU, don't let us down a third time.

Second edit:

OneGrassRoot - you are freakin' AWESOME!!

Fourth Edit to say ONLY 16 MORE SIGNATURES NEEDED. DU -- you are awesome as well. Please keep your FB threads kicked and Cindi's page re-shared. I'm awaiting a return call from my congressman's office, just holding my place in line. They're good to their word and will get to me the moment they can (I'm a big fan of Brad Miller). Let's get those last 16 signatures! THANK YOU DU!!!

Here is a link to a Change.Org petition to sign. Please do sign and pass it on. If you would be so kind as to repost it in your FB feed, it would mean a lot.

Thank you DU. Thank you, thank you, and again, thank you.

Third edit:

I found the link to Cindi's FB page

Save Cindi Davis from Foreclosure

Please share this forward!

Again, thank you DU!!
