“Dear PoPville,
About a year ago I moved EOTR, and my next door neighbor, Sybil, is an incredibly sweet woman who was formerly unhoused/homeless, and now lives in a home owned by her elderly mother. The home definitely needs repairs, but having been homeless before, Sybil loves it. Sybil is kind and caring, she feeds a colony of feral cats, and is a wonderful person. Sybil works selling papers for StreetSense.
Sybil’s mom has always paid the taxes on the house, while Sybil pays the utilities and upkeep on the house. For reasons unknown, her mother stopped paying the taxes about 2.5 years ago, and notified Sybil a few weeks ago that she has to pay the $7,200 in back taxes, or the home will go to tax sale.
Sybil now needs to come up with 7,200 dollars by July 18 to avoid a tax sale on the home she lives in, and to avoid potentially becoming homeless again.
Because she does not own the home, she is not eligible for any of the programs, and OTR denied her request for forbearance. Unfortunately, her mother is not inclined to assist in any way, so the only thing to do in order to preserve Sybil’s current housing situation is to pay the taxes.
I am looking for any possible help for her, as she is distraught, and her mental health is in serious decline as a result of the stress of potentially losing her housing. The tax documents are a matter of public record, and I have attached them, since I am hoping you will share the Go Fund Me link to assist her”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
