NOT a scam!!!! I've met this woman, since she was my aunt's neighbor for quite a few years. Very upbeat and nice person, who doesn't deserve to lose her house. She DOES say that she had to refinance her home when she first lost her husband... I'm guessing for funeral and other death related bills. Who can blame her for THAT? Come on people, have a heart! I'm shocked at people like @puctbridge! You've left a ton of comments on this video. Really, go pick on someone else.

It wasn't much but I sent a little. Paypal does charge fee's even for gifts now.

best of luck to you.

@puctbridge I really don't think YOU get it. Utah is not a cheap place to live. Moving out of state is also not cheap.
You can't buy a mobile home in Utah for that money. Her house currently would probably appraise at least 100-120 k. Sorry if that seems unreasonable to you, but it is our reality.
With regard to you 19 year analogy. How do you know the mortgage was almost paid after 19 years. The house could have been refinanced multiple times in that 19 years for whatever reason. Have a HEART

Every little bit helps , I sent mine.

Something just seems very fishy about this whole thing... I mean 19 years of equity should not have resulted in a refinanced home with a monthly note that's still $730 dollars a month

At that monthly payment rate on a refinanced 30 year contract your paying 262 thousand and that's not including finance fees associated with a loan... Even if it's a 15 year contract your paying 131 thousand before fees... I live in TX so maybe I'm jaded but in Houston that home would be worth roughly 40K cash (tops)... And if you didn't mind moving towards the out skirts of the city you could have a brand new2 story home built for 131k

People are looking at the same home I'm looking at current? The thing can't be worth more then 25-30 grand so how have you lived there 19 years and not paid it off? also from what she claims his woman should also be getting widows benefits and social security disability which combined should reach around $1000 dollars and that should be enough for house payment and electric & water assuming that they moderate their use of their utilities... The daughter works so that should cover living expens

if you send money Paypal be sure to mark it as a gift or they will take 3% from the recepient but i think gifts go through free of charge.
My in-Laws sent me a check for xmas. You need it more than me, I'll be depositing it tomorrow. Merry Christmas. :)
Your daughter will easily be able to qualify for a Full Pell grant at S.L.C.C. That is what I'm using to get back on my feet. Though I don't believe it covers the Nursing Assistant course.

I put in a small contribution. I also hope others will see your compelling story and be willing to help out.
