I am a 50-year-old female who has always been independent, hard-working, responsible and kind to everyone. A so-called “friend” sold my home to his business partners without my permission or knowledge. He sent in a text message the information about the new owner/landlord 6 months later while I was out of town on a business trip. This so-called “friend” is no longer a friend, a licensed realtor and a very wealthy man. He kept all monthly payments I made directly to him for 3 years and had been living in my home for a total of 7 years before the eviction. He also kept the closing costs, improvements, fixtures, repairs, upgrades, security system, and remodel which came out of my pocket and increased the property value significantly! You already know this man made a nice profit off my home in a nice residential neighborhood which is still growing and booming. He kept all my money and never offered a penny back!
This home, entire contents and business were gifted to me by a very sweet kind man who loved everyone! I loved the business this sweet man taught, trusted me with, and found my passion in life. This man never judged, always laughed, gave large tips to servers/uber drivers weekly, and unfortunately took his own life in his own home. On a beautiful Monday morning starting the day, I walked into the office after he took his own life. It was too late and I tried my best to save his life. This home held a lot of memories, a special place in my heart, and knew this sweet man was always watching over me with his angels. All my angels came frequently and made the entire home feel comfortable, positive and to continue to live in. I was truly happy, grateful, blessed with a simple house and simple pleasures such as having a roof over my head and it was my roof.
The new owners decided to have me evicted from my home not too long after. Right before the eviction process started, I was assaulted with a deadly weapon and notified the new owners. I suffer from head trauma/brain injury, cognitive issues, post-concussion syndrome, memory loss, worse than PTSD according to the psychiatrist, severe panic attacks, severe anxiety, depression, neck and back pain, and unable to work due to the assault per psychiatrist. I had to cancel all therapy appointments, crisis counseling, and medical appointments during the eviction process. Still unable to attend any therapy or appointments due to homelessness.
I tried to file with the courts pro se on my own and they did nothing. Also tried calling 20-30 attorneys and no one would take my case, while sleeping in rental cars and hotel rooms. The few friends who could help a little are unable to help any further. Applied for disability and temporary social security benefits and was denied as well. I can get food stamps for the time being and I am required to reapply every 3-6 months.
I have lost a lifetime of possessions money can not buy or replace. Would rather have everything I had owned back over money. Everything for myself and my two daughters from birth was taken by these selfish individuals. This includes losing my self-employment/business, clients, working from home or remotely which was wonderful. They took all inventory for business, tools, client’s personal/sentimental possessions, Christmas ornaments since girls were born and collected over the years, all clothing, shoes, toiletries, jewelry, valuable collections from my business, two safes, deceased friend’s possession/collections, furniture, entire kitchen full of appliances/dishes, light fixtures, ring door cameras/flood lights, framed art hung on the walls from the many vacations my two daughters took with their father over the years, family vacations, photo albums, baby pictures, collections of old books, passports, ss card, important legal documents, all personal and business tax document and more.
My pride got the best of me and have been feeling like a failure. It has been extremely hard and embarrassing trying to explain all of this to strangers for any help without crying. The few friends who could help with very little to offer are unable to help anymore. My immediate family, mother, and siblings will not help and have not offered anything. My father passed away in 2018, the only daughter and he is not around to help. I am so tired of being homeless and have been squatting in a home illegally for the last few weeks. Was just told I would need to go in 6 days someplace else and knew this would not last forever. I have nowhere to go, no car, and no money. I am praying to GOD every day to show me a sign or a miracle. Every day I dig deep to keep pushing and hope something good comes my way.
I am tired of being homeless having no hot water at the moment, no car, no income, no place to go, living with the pain from the assault, mental health issues and not feeling healthy. Not proud at all to post my personal life here and to ask for any type of financial help anyone could give? I am begging for financial assistance to get me off the streets and to feel safe again. Would like to have a roof over my head and rebuild my life. Also would like to buy a secondhand car to get around on my own, continue therapy, medical appointments to heal and rest properly. To have this independence again one day would make my heart happy and start to feel safe in this crazy world we live in!
