Keeping Faith, Single, Disabled Mom Recovering from Eviction

Peace Community. We are requesting community aid and mutual aid to try and piece our lives together from being blindsighted by an emergency possession eviction. It is so hurtful and painful to recall. My property manager said she was working with my Trustee office, she ended up refusing their payment and evicting because of her negative outlook on me. We were given 3 days. We could not represent ourselves in court, and still my request for representation fell short and we were told if we did not show, it would be an automatic possession. We fought for more time due to the other side committing perjury and was given two more days. We could not get even half of our belongings out because of my physical and non-physical disabilities. All of our food “tossed” neighbors say things were given away. A bed, given away. Supposedly 20 % of our belongings thrown away. Liquids, thrown away and possibly kept by the property owners. Filing a police report about the theft. A total nightmare. We lost heirlooms.

So we have a little less than a month to reclaim what items are being stored and there’s a daily fee. We are living in a shelter and it’s not stable, safe, sanitary or sustainable. I have developed a skin condition on my hand that is not being identified as treatable. It’s expected to be damaged for years. And this was a snowball effect from our car being totaled by a semi truck a few months ago, adding to my physical limitations. Transportation has been challenging, getting my son to school and trying to keep my job.

I have committed my life to community organizing when possible and service oriented work as often as I am able to work at all. I educate on ableism and advocate for varied abilities.

We pray this allows me to help others one day because it nearly pushed me to the edge. On the up side, I lost my faith for a little while, and somehow recovered it. I just know that losing faith can be a permanent wound and we’re so grateful we did not stay there. Thank you all in advance for your community and valuing our lives. If for any reason my personal information is shared, please do not post my name. We love the bartering of this platform, a topic heavily discussed in organizing and we will contribute as it will surely grow in time.
