Harland and Michelle Moon created “save our doublewide” Web site, asking their neighbors for help.

Harland does construction and was a Jefferson Township volunteer firefighter for eight years; Michelle used to own a shop in Middlebury. The couple has four children.

But, like so many, the Moons are out of work; and now their home of 10 years has been foreclosed. They say they need $3,000 by Monday to keep their home.

“Our idea was if we could just get between three and five thousand people willing to donate $1, we could pay our bills. And, if I had $1, I would give it to anybody on the street that was in need,” Michelle said.

The Moons are having a garage sale starting Friday to sell everything they can to help raise the money.
