Meet September's Winner: Bonnie Cox

Congratulations to our September $10,000 winner, Bonnie Cox from Sacramento, Ca.

Bonnie, her mother, and first grandchild

Bonnie is one of the many victims of the struggling economy, and was out of work for nearly two years when her family owned construction business failed. She is now working, but after exhausting her savings to stay afloat over those two years, she is barely making it.

Bonnie, her mother, and first grandchild

She plans to use the money to ease the debts she accumulated while out of work, help her two sons, as well as help pay some of her elderly mother's expenses. Bonnie said, "this will change the life of me, and my entire family. Thank you Overstock.com!"

Bonnie?s son Aaron, and mother
