HOBART, Ind. — A northwestern Indiana woman says she has faced a lot of criticism for her decision to sell a handwritten letter she received from President Barack Obama.
Destiny Mathis received the note on White House stationary in February in response to a letter she sent Obama last year about her financial struggles. But the mother of three who was a 2008 campaign volunteer for Obama says she needs money to avoid being evicted from her Hobart apartment.
Mathis tells the Post-Tribune that she's been shocked by the negative responses she has received and that Internet blogs have been relentless.
Obama wrote in the note that he was inspired by Mathis' positive spirit and that he was rooting for her.
New York-based Moments in Time is seeking $11,000 for the note.
