Coalition calls for foreclosure relief

It was early 2009 when the bills became almost too much to bear for Angela Walker.

That's around the time her disability checks from an on-the-job injury stopped coming in, and lost income snowballed into growing debt. By the end of the year, the single mother was more than $7,000 behind in bills and facing foreclosure on her Suitland home for the second time in six months.

"I'm on the brink of drowning; I don't have enough money to make the monthly bills," said Walker, 49.

For Walker, help came Monday via the Rev. Jesse Jackson and a coalition of Prince George's County leaders and municipal mayors outside Walker's home in Suitland.
