Young Boy Raises $10,500 to Save His Grandmother’s Home From Foreclosure

Janice Sparhawk, 72, was going to lose it all. In fact, an auction had been scheduled for Feb. 15. She had fallen behind on her mortgage payments, thus thrusting the future of her home – which has more than 100 years of family history — into uncertainty.

Her situation was ironic. Over the years, Janice had donated much of her time and energy to helping those around her.
