I don’t have no food. I got my wife that’s on a breathing machine, and I don’t know what to do," Ponce said. He was one of 188 people who walked in and out of the courthouse doors Thursday, hoping for another chance to stay in their homes. Some of them got that chance, while others will have to be out in just 48 hours. Deliah McVay also showed up to the courthouse to fight for her case, desperate to keep her home for Christmas for her and her children. "I don’t really discuss my problems with them like that when it comes to financial, because I need you to continue with the 4.1 and the As and Bs," McVay said. Behind the closed doors of the courtroom, there were tense moments and relief. McVay and Ponce learned they would each have more time to pay or move. "They don’t have to worry about the stress of trying to move. They’re on Christmas break. Christmas is coming up," McVay said. "I feel better, and I’m going to do everything and anything to get out of there."“If they tell me that I have to leave, and I don’t have to pay an eviction, and I don’t owe anything, that would be great," Ponce said.
