This Single Mom Is Doing Her Best To Save Her Childhood Victorian Home That Was Built In 1832

Saco, Maine. Heather Hjort is a single mom living in Maine, and she’s doing her best to save her childhood home, which is a historical piece of the town she resides in.
Heather grew up with her family in a Victorian house that was built back in 1832. Heather’s mom and dad bought the home in 1985, and although they experienced a lot of hardships, Heather said they always made that house feel like a home.
Heather’s parents experienced huge health problems, loss of jobs, and a house fire, to name a few of the hardships they endured.
Even with these hardships, Heather’s parents were able to maintain the house, up until they hit retirement.
“Luckily hope came in the form of a great friend, she had fallen in love with this beautiful architecture and wanted to save it!” Heather wrote on a GoFundMe.
“She busted her butt getting all of the requirements in order to buy the home through a short sale.”
“Long story short after over a year of blood, sweat, and tears she lost the property to a paperwork technicality and the mortgage company took the option for the sale off the table and decided to move forward with a foreclosure.”
“This is where I come in. I am a recently single mom brought back to my childhood home that I have a calling to save.”

Heather’s three children are going to be living in her childhood home with her if she’s able to come up with the money to buy the house.
“With the doom of the foreclosure and no hope of getting traditional financing, this is our only chance,” Heather said.
“All I ask is that you consider donating, no amount is too small, the property is appraised less than it is worth as well as needs a roof which means there is not a bank in the world that dare help.”
Heather’s dream is to be able to purchase her family’s home and revive it while making it a wonderful place for her children to live in too.
