Nolan responds to lawsuit allegations

Posted

Alice Nolan, a candidate for the Seat #2 Apopka City Commission, has had three civil suits filed against her by Midland Funding LLC, Capital One Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank, according to the Orange County Clerk of Court's website. The status of all three cases is pending. The lawsuits range from $1,094.33 to $6,566.59 and were filed from 2016-2018, according to documents found on the site.

Nolan released this statement on her campaign's Facebook page yesterday:

"There are situations in our lives that happen to us and there is no way to prepare for it. Six years ago I had a very difficult pregnancy and I was very fortunate to have given birth to what we thought was a healthy baby boy. A month after he was born we found ourselves in a hospital planning his funeral. My son was two rooms over on life support, with no explanation on how he got to that point. When the doctor walked in several hours after being at the hospital with the priest we find out that IF God willing he gets healthy enough for surgery he will have open heart surgery. The doctors were not hopeful at all that he would ever be healthy enough for surgery. But after several days of being on life support, he was rushed into the CVPICU OR where he had 8-hour open heart surgery that no one was for sure was going to work. My son had to stay in the hospital for a month for recovery and for the first year of his life we had several more visits to the hospital because his heart kept flooding. During this time with the cost of medical, the hours of work we missed, travel, and all the other expenses I had racked up several credit cards. In the six years, I have paid all but three of those credit cards and have recently started working on one of the last three. I am hopeful if I keep on the track I am on I will have them paid off by next year. This is a moment in my life that I could not prepare for or imagine to happen to me. I am personally proud of the fast pace I have paid off this debt and did not give up even when times were tough. This is something that is very personal to me and it hurts my heart that people want to dredge this up when they refuse to go to the source to ask why I made the decisions I made. I hope this clears up any confusion or misconceptions that are out there. If anyone has questions please come to me and ask."
