CLEVELAND (AP) -- Members of an Occupy group in Ohio have set up camp outside the home of a woman who expects her family will be forced to leave because of foreclosure.

Occupy Cleveland member Chris Sobolewski says the single mother of 5- and 7-year-old children contacted him through Twitter and said her bank plans to have the sheriff's office serve her with a foreclosure notice on Tuesday.

Protesters set up tents in the home's front yard Sunday night. Sobolewski tells WTAM radio (http://bit.ly/uVLmVC ) his group will stay through Tuesday, in what he describes as a "sit-in."

He says the Occupy demonstrators hope the bank will be persuaded to make a deal so the family can stay.
