OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, September 21, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Just when Kelly Clarkson thought her life was caving in around her, she got a second chance to change everything.
That second chance was a letter from DirectBuy, the second such notification sent by the company, notifying Clarkson that she was the winner of the DirectBuy's $50,000 Home Makeover promotion. And, thankfully, she called DirectBuy's corporate headquarters just in time to claim her winnings.
"When I received the first letter, I thought someone was playing a trick on me and completely disregarded it, but I'm so glad they sent a second notice and I called," said Clarkson.
DirectBuy, the home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, named Kelly Clarkson of Moore, Oklahoma as their 2nd national Home Makeover winner this year. Over the past few years, DirectBuy has distributed more than a half million dollars in prize money to both members and non-members as part of their Home Makeover Program, designed to help consumers learn more about DirectBuy, and in the process, help them create the home of their dreams.
On September 10, 2009, Clarkson visited the company's Oklahoma City location for the formal check presentation.
Weeks prior, Clarkson was summoned to court in a foreclosure dispute on the home she is currently renting. Clarkson, who is disabled, and hasn't worked for more than two years, didn't have the finances to purchase the home from the bank and was preparing for a move this year.
But, with a little luck and a second chance, the Clarkson family can now make their current residence a permanent home.
"Just as quickly as things turned for the worst in my life, they just as easily made a turn for the better," said Clarkson. "I truly feel so blessed!"
Clarkson's children, 15-year-old Tyler and eight-year-old Samaya, are looking forward to the comfort of knowing they will be staying in their current home and school. And three-year-old Yzabella is thrilled that her mom can now afford to buy her the pink PowerWheels jeep she's been wanting.
DirectBuy of Oklahoma City franchise owners Brandon and Adriana Parker were excited that their club was able to help someone from their community.
"Having a chance to present a family with a check for $50,000 is one of the most exciting events I have ever participated in," said Adriana. "There couldn't have been a more deserving family than the Clarksons, and I am truly happy that DirectBuy could help turn their luck for the better."
