Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Tracy Morgan 's mother says she struggled for years to provide the comedian with everything he needed as a child , but now that she 's out of work and facing foreclosure he 's refusing to help her . Alicia Morgan , in a phone interview with CNN Wednesday , said she called her son last month to say she needed $ 25,000 to pay off her mortgage , but his assistant called back and told her , `` Tracy would do a one shot deal of $ 2,000 . '' `` I was so upset , I told her to tell Tracy 'Thank you , but no thanks . I am not some person on the street asking you for a handout , I am your mother , ' '' she said . `` And that was the end of that . '' His sister , Asia Morgan , said their mother needs his help soon `` so she does n't end up on the streets . '' Their mother lost her job last year , reducing her income to $ 600 a month and causing her to fall behind on her $ 400 monthly mortgage on her Youngstown , Ohio , home , her daughter said . `` If her mortgage is not paid by February 23 , 2012 , her home will go into foreclosure , '' she said . Tracy Morgan , meanwhile , released a statement to CNN Wednesday night saying he was `` saddened that these untrue stories about me have people questioning my commitment to my family . '' The one-paragraph statement continued , `` For reasons that are between us , I have not seen my Mother in 11 years and outside of a random call here and there have had little to no contact with my sister . We all have personal family issues that we have to deal with in life , but I choose to deal with mine in private and not through the media . '' In her interview with CNN , Alicia Morgan said her son offered to pay her mortgage after she was laid off from her job last year . `` I faxed him my account number and my mortgage papers , '' Alicia Morgan said . `` I thought he was paying it , but after a few months I realized he did n't pay it off . '' His mother said she heard through another relative that her son was angry about publicity given to the story . `` My nephew said that he spoke to Tracy and that Tracy said he was n't going to pay me because I gave an interview , '' his mother said . `` I never talked to anyone . '' Alicia Morgan has five children with Morgan 's late father , Asia Morgan said . `` She has asked all of her children for help , but we are no in a position to do so , '' she said . `` We all have jobs , but Tracy is the only one in a position to help . '' Their mother , now 62 , says she has trouble walking , has diabetes and her unemployment benefits just expired . `` It took me 30 years or more to buy a home , '' she said . `` At times I worked two to three jobs to support my children . They always got what they wanted , including Tracy . No one took care of them but me . '' Tracy Morgan , 43 , grew up in Brooklyn , but his mother moved the family to Youngstown in 1995 , a decade after he left home , his sister said . He rose to fame as a `` Saturday Night Live '' cast member and now stars on NBC 's hit sitcom `` 30 Rock . '' `` We have tried to get in contact with my brother Tracy , but he changes his phone number all the time , so we have no way of talking to him , '' she said . His mother said she did not understand why Morgan `` chose himself not to be with the family . '' `` No one did anything to him , '' she said . `` ... I am not trying to hurt Tracy . I love my children to death . ''
