‘Mistake’ costs family its home at The Springs [Central Florida]

Because of someone else’s mistake, Sharon Rousey lost her Longwood home at a courthouse auction two weeks ago over $1,200 in unpaid homeowners association dues.

On Wednesday, she tried to persuade a judge to give it back. He refused.

That means Rousey, 48, a single mom who is raising two disabled teenagers on a fixed income, must now pack up her belongings and get out.

“Things don’t always work out the way you desire,” she said after the hearing.
