A Baltimore woman who is losing her home to foreclosure began a hunger strike on Monday to draw attention to the national foreclosure crisis and the difficulty people face when trying to modify mortgages.

“This is not about my story anymore, it’s about representing a lot of people who are going through this,” says Lauren Rymer, 32. “Homeowners aren’t experts and we can’t navigate the system. This is an impossible system to navigate.”

Rymer’s hunger strike and protest across from the Maryland State House in Annapolis has been effective; aside from news coverage, Rymer said she has been contacted by an official from Gov. Martin O’Malley‘s office about her situation. She is now hoping to hand over the deed in lieu of going through the foreclosure process. She said she’ll eat if it looks like that process is going to work out.
