Woman risks losing century-old ‘Promise Land’ family home
Jennifer Smith is at risk of losing her century-old family home in Morehead City, N.C., due to a $8,000 tax debt after her mother's passing. Smith is running a fundraiser to raise the money within a month and a half to avoid foreclosure.
Jennifer Smith's family has owned a home in Morehead City, N.C., for over 100 years, which they call the 'Promise Land'. The property was bought by her great-grandmother after hurricanes devastated Shackleford Banks. Smith's mother fell behind on tax payments due to illness, and after her passing, Smith took over the debt. The taxes tripled, and she now owes $8,000, facing foreclosure if not paid soon. A fundraiser has been set up to help Smith raise the money. The home holds significant family history, with four generations having built their lives there. Neighbor Greg Garner emphasizes the importance of preserving homes and their history in the area.
