All the King’s Men and all the King’s Horses…
…Couldn’t Save the Harpers From Foreclosure.
Three years ago, Patricia and Milton Harper and their sick children were granted a free home reconstruct with enough money to cover their taxes for 25 years by “Extreme Makeover,” a show designed to help deserving families make repairs and upgrades to their homes for free.
It was recently announced, however, that the home, located at 5489 Ahyoka Drive, Lake City, GA is now in foreclosure as the result of a failed business venture, which they attempted to start up using a $450,000 loan they took out against the property and have failed to pay back.
Whether it was bad luck or bad planning, they now lack the support from the community that once worked so hard to fund the housing project. Combined with the pitiless foreclosure process, it is doubtful the Harpers will get a second chance to pick up the pieces and save their home.
The property is scheduled to be Auctioned on the Clayton County steps on August 5th, 2008.
