The Wales family will not be forced to vacate their home in Prince William County, Va., after its lender reversed its decision to foreclose, according to the Washington Post.

Mike and Kathy, the homeowners, were promised a loan modification earlier this month. But the paperwork never arrived and their lender went ahead and auctioned off the home instead.

It was a crushing turn of events, considering that the couple has to care for their ‘gravely ill’ 10-year-old son, Alex, who suffers from a rare neurogenetic disorder that has left him blind and unable to walk.

The good news is that once their trying story reached the press, the lender moved fast to fix its mistake. In fact, under terms of the deal, the Wales’ monthly mortgage payment will be reduced and the loan will be extended to 40 years.

Not a fairy tale ending, but a positive outcome nonetheless under what must be incredibly difficult circumstances.
