we need help getting into a home

It’s been a long road!

We have been through a lot!

So I thought I would come here and see where it takes me. I am a single mom of 5 kids. Newly single that is. After being in an abusive relationship for the last 10 years I’m finding myself starting over for what feels like the 10th time in my life. I wasn’t the only one that suffered such an awful relationship as you could imagine. But I will only go as far back as a year ago. We had a house fire and lost everything. Now homeless with nothing my now ex husband started committing awful crimes for what he said was “to take care of his family.” I disagreed and felt terrible for the Victims of these crimes. But what could I say without paying the back lash of that. So I kept my mouth shut and tried everything I could to keep a roof over my kids heads. During this time my ex husband got all 3 of my cars police impounded and were held for police evidence and by the time they were released I could not afford to get them back out. I lost my job and found another house after the fire and lost that as well. I then met a man that wanted to hire me and I was thrilled things were starting to look up. Until….. he turned out to be an obsessed nut case! Although my husband was headed to prison anyway he set him up and rushed along the process. He never paid me a dollar for the work I had done. He would make awful sexual comments towards me several times a day. When moving closer to my so called “employment” the Uhaul that was in his name he told Uhaul it had been stolen and to throw everything away because it wasn’t his stuff. Which lead to me and kids for the second time in a year with absolutely nothing. So now I’m stuck in a place I don’t know with no transportation in his rental property no money with heroine addicts also living in the same home as myself and my kids. He then files eviction. (Like I needed that) he claimed we were squatting. That was not the case. He got upset one day when I answered a phone call from my kids dad and got in my face and almost hit me. The eviction ended up holding up because I couldn’t get to court and he knew that. So me and my kids pack what little we have and go sit on the side walk for about 4 hours. We had a box of cereal and some lemonade we shared. Now that I feel like the most worthless mother on the planet. I call everyone I know just for a ride and end up with a friend’s parents that were nice enough to let us stay here for a while. But the living conditions are awful. My son was trying to sleep on a recliner because that’s what we have to work with and he had roaches crawling all over him. The smell of cat and dog pee is unbearable. And I can’t keep letting my kids live like this. So that’s where we are now. I have secured housing but don’t exactly have all the money together to move in.
