Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!
Occupy Fights Foreclosure Fighting to Save Defrauded Family's Home
By Cheryl Aichele

http://www.laprogressive.com/occupy-fights-foreclosure/

Today is a victory for Dirma and her family, most significantly for her special needs daughter Ingrid! All respect to OFF LA and supporting Occupiers! Occupiers from all over, including Occupy Pasadena, Occupy Miami and Worchester MA!

Occupy Fights Forclosures Los Angeles were contacted by Dirma about attempts to illegally foreclose upon her home. Dirma has filed bankruptcy, which halts foreclosure proceedings, but Maxim Properties claim to own the house and are forcing foreclosure proceedings. On the 26th, they sent sheriffs to evict the family. Occupiers were there and took up task, explaining the issues to them. One occupier was momentarily cuffed and detained in a sheriff's vehicle, but Occupy won through and the family, who had been given five minutes to remove themselves and all of their property, are back in the house.

Even worse, Dirma had engaged the services of Golden Globe Investments to help end the foreclosure. It turns out they are possibly not even licensed to do this, and Occupiers had to show up and Occupy their offices in order to get Dirma's paperwork and $4,500.00 investment returned!!


Note that their daughter, Ingrid, suffers from toxic plasmosis cerebral palsy, and is unable to care for herself. Maxim and the sheriffs wanted to throw her out on the street. The family have nowhere else to go, as renters balk at Ingrid's condition. The home has a long wheelchair ramp from the front door to the sidewalk....

We canvassed the neighborhood and talked with other homeowners, discussing Dirma's situation and calling them to a neighborhood General Assembly. We found several seemingly empty homes...but onward to the GA:

Dirma's daughter Ingrid. I took a photo of Ingrid, who is seemingly nearly always in anguish, but in attempted sensitivity, will not share it. Just know that she can use your prayers, and her home.
