Friends for the Mutala Family

Since my story about the trials of Kiladi Mutala ran in yesterday’s paper, I’ve been deluged with calls from people wanting to help the Mutalas. For those who haven’t followed the story, Mutala’s wife, Lenda, died suddenly on Dec. 23, leaving her husband and four kids bereft in more ways than one. She was the family breadwinner — Kiladi Mutala was pursuing a doctorate in philosophy while she worked. Now the father is working two jobs/60 hours a week to put food on the tabel and pay the bills, but still can’t make ends meet.
I’m telling people that if they want to help they can make checks payable to “Friends for the Mutala Family.” The fund was set up by Stephanie Ferrante-Hirsch, a realtor at Keller Williams Realty in New City. She and other friends held a fundraiser for the Mutalas in June and raised $2,500 for them. Checks can me mailed to her attention at Keller Williams Hudson Valley Realty, 18 Laurel Road, New City, NY 10956.

Where’s the pressure on the finance companies and the town. to prevent this foreclosure? isnt this what the stimulus is supposed to do? maybe someone can offer him a higher paying job.
I think the realtors that sold them the house should be shot and the finance company that said you need to make 500 more for the stimulus should be brought up on charges.
Money is only a quick fix. the system needs to be fixed because it is broken.
Where’s Morahan? Where’s Vanderhoef? where’s any county legislator crying foul?
