A “Strongly Worded Letter” to Bank of America

From maryschmidt, written to BofA the day before the auction of a house her parents had owned for 23 years. It was taken by the bank after her father suffered a stroke, and they couldn’t refinance the mortgage:

When you enter the house, you will notice the colorful walls and vibrant tiles. We call that my mom’s “mid-life fiesta.” Enjoy that. It was a labor of love. Each colorful tile was made by mom and laid by my dad. Those bookshelves, that mantel, the fence in the front yard…my dad built those. You are welcome.

Meanwhile, banks got a trillion dollars in bailout money from the government. How is this just? Full letter on Mary’s site.
