"After years of witnessing her give of herself and her home, it seemed only natural that he try to save the place where so many had found refuge."
Christopher Mann had no idea his mom was in such dire straits.
For months, she kept to herself the struggle to save her house in Chicago Heights. She consulted financial planners, attempted to lower payments, take out loans—”she tried everything,” Mann told Patch—to manage the seemingly insurmountable $24,000 needed to hold onto her home.
And the trouble mounted as Mann, a lance corporal in the U.S. Marines, served his country in Afghanistan.
When he returned from his deployment, she finally looped in her son. And the two became a team.
“I didn’t have $25,000 just laying around,” Mann said. “If I did, i would have just solved the problem on my own, taken care of it.”
Mann grew up watching his mother putting others’ needs before her own. For more than a decade, she took abused and neglected children into her foster care.
