A majority of Americans are one paycheck away from the streets. One disaster away from losing everything. It's a precarious balancing act we all carry out, flailing our arms to keep from falling.
I had a nice apartment. A great job. A cute little car. My three little darlings the loves of my life and I was engaged to their father. Life was pretty much going amazing.

Then the disaster that changed our lives struck in the form of a young buck. He leapt in front of my car one night, on a 55 mph road. The car was totaled, and the insurance did not pay out enough to cover the loan.
My job was nearly an hour drive away. Suddenly I couldn't get to work, but I still had to pay the daycare for time the kids weren't able to be there for. I couldn't pay for the old car loan AND start a new car loan. It piled up so quickly, in a month we were evicted. The children's father decided to move to Kentucky to be with a girl he had met online. Nice.
I found a place I could work off the rent. A man who wanted his unused property to be converted into a blueberry farm. I was willing to do the work, and stupidly on my part, a verbal agreement was struck.
A little short of two years later, he remarried. We were forced to leave, Christmas Eve of 2016, because she wanted to use the property more.

I had saved up a little, but with my eviction was unable to find a place willing to rent to us. I used the money to purchase a little R.V. figuring I would be able to save enough from not paying rent to eventually purchase a small place of our own.
There are huge problems with that plan. Various repairs have drank down the savings. The alternator has been replaced, twice, the belt, the coil pack and other issues. Not to mention the prolific amount of gas it takes to run that beast. Not a dollar saved.
I have a full time job. The kids are in school. Halloween of 2017 there was a knock on the camper door. Someone got nosey and contacted child protected services. The kids were clean, fed, warm and loved. No abuse, no neglect. Our only crimes were being poor and living in an RV. But CPS threatened to take the three pieces of my soul I would die without unless I found immediate housing.

As I said above, the eviction from 2014 has made me a "risk" for renting to. Nothing saved up. 211 offered zero help, the Salvation Army and the County are out of funds.
So, we went to the homeless shelter. Taken from our solitude we are among fights, violence, drug abuse, domestic violence issues, fear and some really decent people.
There was literally blood on the walls when we arrived. Our RV was clean, quiet, safe and our own. The shelter a frightening den of chaos. The depression I have is crippling, anxiety attacks have sen me by ambulance to the hospital.
Child Protective Services never even came here to make sure we are where I told them we are. But they closed our case. They came, made threats, bullied us into the homeless shelter and struck absolute terror into the depths if my soul and the disappeared. But we're just homeless people, so nobody cares. Oh yeah, they did offer me some bus passes. #ThanksButNoThanks
I work hard, I am TRYING and saving once more. But we have been here since November, I have viewed dozens of rentals and nobody will have us. I will get us out of this mess, somehow.

But, if you think to judge those in this position, to stereotype, remember, you could be just one disaster away.
Hey @hickorymack! Its nice to get you. Your story and those beautiful children have really touched quite a few of us here.
Of course there are many things you can do that would be awesome. First, I would suggest that you get in touch with @luanne as she is the person that brought your story to my attention. She has some contacts in your area, so she said she would see what could come of that.
Also I think there are many people that would like to "help you" to "help yourself" get through this. So there are many awesome things about steemit that just might give you that opportunity. First you can tell a very good story. That is a natural talent that can be refined and help you earn some additional money.
Next, I think it would be good if we open your story up to our members and let them get to know you and we can essentially all put our heads together. You certainly did a good job with your introduction, but I can set up a more extensive Q & A type format where you can communicate directly to questions that people will have.
Finally, I think your story places you in a position to appeal to many out there that are sick of the rules of big government and how we are losing/if not have lost our liberties. I think that you could do well as an advocate on these issues.
Most important right now is that you get ahold of @luanne and let her and you get to know each other. And if you both can set up a time that works for you, then we can get together by phone or internet or whatever form of communication works for you.
I think there are many people that want to help you, so I'm so glad that you joined steemit and told us part of your story. You got the attention of me and @luanne, but you also got the attention of many of the bigger players on steemit like @abh12345 who saw my post and jumped immediately to let his network know. He is a member of a club called #stewardsofgondor that are truly great people with a huge heart. Also there are others that are far bigger than me that also might want to help like those will real clout that upvoted you like @hendrikdegrote @acidyo and @runicar. (Note: if you bigger guys/gals want to take the lead, we would be happy to support you and follow our direction)
I will be going to sleep now, but I am usually on steemit around noon est. and don't worry if you don't get me instantaneously I will continue to look for your reply. ;)
Give those adorable little girls a big hug tonight. And we will be in touch with you very soon!
What costs more 10 crooked hitlary or 1000000 migrants ?
10 hillary X 10 billions (super crooked genocidists globalists pedo fiat leech size) = 100 Billions.
1 000 000 X 1000 (low monthly cost) X 12 (to get to a year) = 12Billions !
In theory your numbers seem to add up, of course it is a low estimate of 12000 per year per migrant... you have to include everything from housing, feeding, clothing, insuring, schooling, infrastructure and social service load etc.
The problem is that the swap isn't possible as it is same the hillarists that import the over breed of foreign non citizen mothers to take away the food from the mouths of their own children...
So yes, each time an homeless is let down to allocate more resources to a migrants, resources which are limited beyond money but time and people power there is in a sense a betrayal of why those fund where setup up.
as you can read here :
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/01/27/migrant-crisis-cost-germany/
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/12135244/Migrant-crisis-to-cost-Germany-50-billion-by-2017.html
They account it at around 20Billions last year.
>The spokeswoman also noted that spending per student in tertiary education is $16,895, above the OECD average of $15,772, when Germanyโs โhigh expenditureโ on research is taken into account, which she said was an appropriate measure given the โunity of research and teachingโ at German universities and the benefits that research funding brings to students.
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/oecd-germanys-publicly-funded-no-fees-system-unsustainable
So as you can see when foreigns mothers unload 10 kids hoping that one will be able to invade the old world feminist hypergamist world and feed on what previous generation there built you don't find it strange that public funds are allocated this way?
I have nothing against you helping a migrant or refugees or who ever you want. it isn't my business what you do with your money. but when you start to use public funds for your own personal, moral and spiritural well being I thing there is a little incomprehension from my side.
In the case of this rv mom, she may be young, but own many of her ancestors contributed to the edification of the united states of america? I am seriously asking. I am not saying that she is better or worst as new citizens, however that compared to an illegal alien, it was done for her.
Normandy wasn't invaded to save the migrants...
Now austerity. you are so confused. understand a key concept in life : OPM, other people money. What is that? can you give me steems and sbd please? Why don't you want? Now if I can make a law that you would have to give to me your steems and sbds would you find it just?
Austerity, or can you afford it. This is very basic. There are a lot of people who would like to live else where... is it possible?
Transparency and accountability. Simple put: what is going on!?! Is is just that tax payer dollars are used to harass the op? the small trickle theory...
deserts move one grain of sand at a time...
INFORMING THE MASSES - A short list of some of the abuses against @Noganoo by Satanic whales on Steemit.
For those of you who are unaware @Noganoo was sexually abused when he was 5 years old. Bernie Sanders learned this from Fyrstikken whom Noganoo trusted and confided in and then was betrayed and slandered by Fyrstikken whom Noganoo brought to Steemit. Noganoo only requested that Fyrstikken send back the 10 Bitcoins he stole from SatoshiHorizon through his โaltcoin investment fund.โ Noganoo stood up against Bernie's flag abuse towards SeaBlue which caused the war that you are seeing today. Bernie swore to destroy Noganoo because Noganoo defended the helpless minnows on Steemit. Below are just a few of the terrible insults they have spoken against this Christian man. Please visit @Noganoo's blog and support and encourage him through these demonic attacks as his old friends have forsaken him. Not only do these people verbally attack Noganoo but they antagonize him until he responds in anger, then they sent the FBI to his house for "threatening." Noganoo has requested to all of the whales on steemit directly for them to speak to these 2 fraudsters and tell them to stop. Not a word was said in one year and now he is resorting to further action. The abuse will stop. If you have any information as to the identity or whereabouts of BernieSanders or Pfunk please contact abuse@steem.in. There is a substantial reward and you can remain anonymous. Noganoo is unable to file a restraining order against these 2 until he finds their identity. BernieSanders is a pedophile and should not be rewarded with upvotes on Steemit.
First of all let's go back to before this all started. Noganoo was investigating the fraud and theft of 10s of millions of dollars of rewards by Donkeypong, Gavvet, Sauravrungta, HanshotFirst, Kevinwong, The-Alien, JrCornel, Sweetsssj and Knozaki2015 with their organization called "SteemGuild" where they used the Steemit Co-founder Ned's account to vote for themselves instead of the "minnows" they claimed to be supporting. Go look at all of their current account values and you can see that over 1 year ago Noganoo was right! They paid themselves multi-millions for only a couple months of curating on Steemit. Something the rest of us do for free. You can see that these people and their friends are the only people who have ever attacked Noganoo. They are trying to cover up their theft. If you go back on the blockchain you can see Noganoo's accounts previously supported most of these authors with his thousand bot voters early on in the platforms launch. https://steemd.com/@sweet-banana?page=17 Then Noganoo called out The-Alien for his common use of the word "Motherfucker" in his fiction stories that were upvoted by their "Steemguild" to number one on trending every day to "raise money for the guild." Fact is they stole millions of dollars. This rebuke prevented Noganoo from ever getting an upvote from that guild which controlled over 30% of the voting power on Steemit at the time.

Here is Pfunk attacking Noganoo's girlfriend.

Here Bernie tries to twist the truth and calls him an "incestuous criminal." Bernie is trying to convince the unknowing public that Noganoo is a sex criminal.

I'm pretty sure (noganoo) was molested by somone in the church.

Here is Pfunk 2 years ago violently attacking an article Noganoo wrote about Christianity, Pfunk at the time had no idea Noganoo wrote this! Pfunk is a hater of true Christians but aligns himself with the fake Christians so he can get more witness votes and doesn't lose support. Pfunk proceeded to individually message everyone that upvoted Noganoo and slander him and threaten them with loss of support if they continue to upvote his articles. Pfunk, Berniesanders and Ausbitbank costed Noganoo over 50,000 dollars in losses last year. Ausbitbank attacked Noganoo to impress his witness friends when Noganoo is the one who brought him to Steemit. He brought Noganooโs reputation from 68 down to zero with stolen Steempower provided by JamesC

I genuinely feel for you. My suggestion is not to ever talk to CPS or let them have access to your kids again. If the case is closed and you have documentation of that... Keep it, and don't let them in again. Legally they cannot do anything but try to scare the hell out of you if you refuse to talk to them on any new case they try to re-open. Stay inside (if you have an inside) and keep the door closed to them. They can do nothing unless you invite them in, unless they have an order from a judge in hand and you see it and read it yourself first.
Be wise, do everything you can to fortify yourself against any further encroachment by them. They rarely stay gone. CPS have been know to tell people cases are closed, and they will still keep coming up with new reasons to push into your business.
Get savvy on the laws and your rights. Know that both; well paid lawyers, and free court appointed attorneys are often going to mislead you. Attorneys work for the court, not you, and there is a legal difference between Lawyers and attorneys, but I'm not the one to tell you about it because it's an in depth topic.
Agencies and courts get paid when families are in dire straights, not when families are doing well... So just do your best to remain strong and know you are not alone. There's many thousands of families being abused by those agencies and the courts.
Be strong, don't let them emotionally trigger you, remain centered, and balanced no matter what "games" they play. That is what 'they' call it behind closed doors. "Games". Hard to believe, but true.
Teach your children, discretely, to be savvy if they get approached by those kind of people so they cannot be manipulated.
I know you haven't asked for my advice, but these people rarely go away after one visit. Don't be worried so you create it, but be wise.
Breaks my heart to see this kind of thing still continues. It is all being done by design and once we can see it... we can change the direction things are heading in.
Document everything... Get copies of ALL doctors records if you can, and keep them in case they start disappearing. (Maybe they won't but it's a tactic that's often used.) Better to be safe than sorry on that one. And be careful who you tell your private business to, but try to have at least one person you can talk to... don't let anyone isolate you. I think for that reason alone it's awesome you have shared your story on here! Isolation is something 'they' aim for. Then 'they' attack your mental health. (hopefully you won't have this problem because they are really gone in your case!) When all else fails... Step back and take a deep breath, and get back up again.
Most things in this world are an illusion that we allow to take up residence in our minds. The fragile system people rely upon could indeed crumble under their feet at any moment for many various reasons. So you are right, it's best not to look upon those we know nothing about and cast judgement. We've been taught to rely upon a system that is built on lies when we choose to see it for what it is we can make a difference for others. Your post will surely help many people! This comment has gotten way too long, I hope I'm not breaking some kind of Steemit rules with it, because I'm pretty new on here. :O Lol
Many blessing to you and your little ones! They are lucky to have you!
