On Monday, Nov. 7, Occupy Atlanta took their issues to the suburbs in hopes of helping the Rorey family keep their home. The Snellville family of five, including two school-age children, has lived in their Shoreside Circle home since 2003. They are now facing a foreclosure.

Having never missed a payment, problems started after the family met someone who promised to help them with a loan modification, according to the family's Tucker-based attorney Asim Alam. In July 2010, the family defaulted in order to take advantage of that loan modification. Soon after, the foreclosure process started. That man, the attorney said, has since been arrested in other schemes.

"The Roreys represent probably the prime example of who the community at-large should be seeing as a victim and really scratching its head, wondering what is going on," Alam said. Tawanna Rorey's husband, a 40-year-old law enforcement officer with DeKalb County, sent the Occupy Atlanta group a message last week. And, by Friday, Occupy Atlanta protestors were at the family's foreclosure court hearing.

"A lot of times people don't reach out because they don't know what to do," Rorey said, standing in the front lawn of her home. "They don't know where to go and who to get help from."

Now, the family's belongings are packed inside storage containers, and they are hoping goodwill intervenes on their behalf. The home, a place of birthdays, anniversaries and fun family events, is where the Roreys had planned to stay. Having moved from an apartment prior, Tawanna Rorey said the home was their dream.

"We're kind of just hoping that something bigger takes over and leads us in the direction we need to go," she said. Stacey Bourbonnais, a spokeswoman with the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department, said Monday that the pending foreclosure was "still with the courts."
