CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A family facing foreclosure was among the hundreds of protesters who attended a rally and march beginning in Frazier Park Sunday.
Jessica Sanchez, 17, and her family are worried about losing their home.
Sanchez suffers from a condition known as spina bifida and was born with a tumor on her spine that left her paralyzed from the waist down.
They family has lived in their house for 12 years in Charlotte, but got behind on the mortgage because of all of Sanchez's hospital bills.
They will have to pay $20,000 to their lender by September 14th or they will lose their home.
Sanchez says the mortgage payments are too high, which is why she attended the protest.
"I want President Obama or the next president to lower down the interest rate, check to see if they are doing their stuff right, because everyone should have rights to be in their home, nobody should be living in the streets, " said Sanchez.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police chief Rodney Monroe estimates between 750 to 1,000 people participated in the three-mile march through Uptown Charlotte.
