Offers flood in after family’s appeal over repossession

THE mother of a special needs boy whose family face having their home repossessed has revealed how a number of good Samaritans have offered to help after the family’s case was highlighted in the national media.

The High Court this week ordered the repossession of the Waterford family’s home despite an offer by the parents to repay the lender in question €800 a month.

The family’s distressing story — which was first highlighted by the Irish Examiner — saw the family’s plight being raised in the Dáil yesterday.
