HOW YOU CAN HELP

Friday, October 17, was an historic day. At 11am, Jocelyne Voltaire was scheduled to lose her home in Queens Village, the home she had lived in for the past 20 years, the home where she raised her four children. Unable to keep up her skyrocketing mortgage payments, Jocelyne watched in horror as her home was put on the auction block.

At 9:05 am EST, we sent out an urgent call to our CODEPINK list. Our jaws dropped when we saw the response. Within an hour, we had raised over $10,000. And the money kept pouring in, along with beautiful messages of support. Jocelyne was moved to tears.

And the mortgage bankers, with our immediate promise of $15,000 at 11am, were "moved" to stop the auction.

Thanks to you, in one day we raised over $30,000 from 650 donors, showered Jocelyne with love and compassion, and saved her home.

At a press conference on the Queens courthouse steps where the auction was to take place, Jocelyne said: "To all of you facing similar disaster, don't be silent, don't be ashamed. Step forward and call out for help. That's what I did, and a miracle happened. These angels came to help me. We all have to pull together and help each other."
