"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Oregonlive commenters suddenly cried out in racist terror and were suddenly rendered completely illiterate. I fear something progressive has happened."

Don't worry, 6. I'm sure frankieb, D, and Andy will be along shortly with their oregonlive capes on to tell us this woman is destroying our community and deserves to spend Christmas morning at the bottom of the river.

Thanks for the props there 'joy' - but we really don't know that her buisness model was sustainable from the info in the article now, do we?
We do know they have been threatening forclosure since 2008 though - even before the economy took a major shit.
So yeah, I am suspicious. And the tag that goes along with the photo - meant to inflict knee-jerk sympathy "I'm just a single mom" doesn't help us to know anything really. In my opinion SMirk was just pandering there (love you though Sarah...)
Give us the details of her business venture in full account before making her out to be the complete victum here. We deserve the details too, to judge for ourselves.
Maybe she is the victum of an EVIL BANKING SYSTEM, but from the info given to us here, we just don't know - do we?

According to todays Oregonian, she is a unemployed registered nurse.
Nurses make some pretty damn good money, and the health care sector has been able to weather the economy better than most.... and I believe there is a shortage of nurses as well.
So what gives then? Why isn't she working and paying her bills?

"Hill was running an adult caretaking business out of the seven-bedroom home"

Oh, is that what they are calling crack houses these days?

When every you really need help, and hope that people will rally behind you to keep your home for you and your children, because you are all your children have.....i hope there is not a discussion on if you really deserve it, and all the ins and outs of how much does a person need of help, and if they even need help.

She's being evicted. Homeless is next. Does she need to show her bank account to get help? Does she need to get on her knees fall apart and beg for help?

This can happen to anyone in today's world. You can't pay, you are in the street the next day!

No worries, I am forgetting everyone and everything I read her, because it's turned my stomach. If you need help in the future I won't remember your name that have posted. I'll be there for you. It's time to wake up, and unfortunately most don't until it happens to them.
