‘Makeover’ House Faces Foreclosure

Item: Idaho 'Extreme Makeover' house faces foreclosure/SR

More Info: A North Idaho man whose family received a house from the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” television program three years ago is facing foreclosure. Eric Hebert put the house up for sale last year and said the maintenance had become too expensive and time-consuming as he raised his late sister’s 11-year-old twins, Keely and Tyler. The Coeur d’Alene Press reports Hebert used the house as collateral for a loan from Wells Fargo & Co., and he can no longer make payments. As of Feb. 11, Hebert still owed the bank nearly $400,000.

Question: Is there a moral to this story?
