4 minutes late …Change.org

                          My bank could evict me from my home because I called them 4 minutes late. Help me stop them.                       
      Sign my Petition

 

After my bank made me wait 2 years to get my home back, they called off a deal with me to stay in my home because they said I called them 4 minutes late.

When I was threatened with eviction from my home of 17 years, I made an agreement with the Vice President of Woodlands National Bank. They said if I rented the house for two years, and brought money up-front, they would work with me to prepare a new mortgage.

I held up my end of the bargain — but now the bank is backing out, and I could be evicted from my home at any time. I’ve tried calling and visiting the bank’s Vice President Cindy Koonce in person, but she refuses to work with me.

I started a petition on Change.org calling on Woodlands National Bank to follow through on its promise to help me keep my home of 17 years.

I’ve lived in my home for 17 years now. As the years passed, I’ve watched the cedar that I planted grow from fitting in the palm of my hand to as tall as my house. I’ve stood by, smiling, as my great-nieces and nephews picked raspberries from the bushes in my yard. I’ve watched, as my house has grown from my place to a communal place, for my family, my friends, and my community.

The bank has already shown that it is sensitive to public opinion: the bank proposed the original deal because the community sent in petitions and made phone calls on my behalf.

I am confident that if enough people join this campaign, Woodlands bank will negotiate with me, and become part of the solution to the housing crisis we face.

Thank you.

Send a message now to keep families together … Mayron Payes, Reform Immigration FOR America


Leave a comment for family unity

Earlier this year, we announced a proposal from the administration to change the rules around family visa applications currently keeping too many families separated. The rule change would allow spouses and children of US citizens to file for visas while remaining in the US, instead of leaving the country for 3 or 10 years as they have to do now.

This rule change could prevent parents from missing a decade of their children’s lives, and spouses from facing years without the support of their partners. Now, we need your help to move this proposal forward.
Leave a public comment now to support the change in the rules that would help keep families together.


In order for this change to go into effect, we need major public support from activists like you, standing up for families separated by the 3 and 10-year bars. We will deliver your messages of support for the change to Alejandro Mayorkas, Director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Taking a few minutes to write your comment today could make a difference for thousands of families.


The comment period closes soon — we need to submit our comments now to support family unity waivers and keep our families together. Add your public comment today.
With hope,
Mayron Payes Reform Immigration FOR America
