Maine Benefactor To Return Foreclosed Home Back To Owner

WCSH-TV Channel 6 in Portland, Maine reports on the story of a Fairfield widow with nine children who was facing foreclosure and about to lose her home. According to the story:

• Local businessman Brent Burger organized a web-based campaign called Nine Days For Nine Children. The website resulted in more than $30 thousand dollars in donated building materials, hundreds of volunteers and monetary donations from as far away as California.

The end result is that Burger bought the home at the foreclosure sale and is now supervising the volunteers renovating the home, which will be given back to the family. The renovations will be completed by Sunday, September 30th. For more, see Volunteers Help Family Of Ten Return Home.
