Anyone have an apartment in brooklyn that be cheap so I can keep my family together for one month, we put everything in storage but we homeless till our sec8 move packet be ready on september 11 2007, our landlord is putting us out on monday the 6 2007' I pleaded with him beg him actually to let us pay one more month because I did'nt want to put my family in a shelter, but he said he can't help it he want us out and the court system have said we need to be out since he refuse to to accept any rent and want his apartment back. The reason why it came to this is because for 3 years we had one bedroom that had a bad leak on the roof every time it rain we had like 5 buckets to catch the rain water we had ask him all the time to please repair that, also sec8 inspectors had many problems about him doing repairs that they told him that needed to be done, he was ask to repair the floor tiles on the kitchen floor and he just put leno lion on top of the damage floor so in a week it was broken again, one of the kids room had problems with the heat as well we use to try and not let the city impostors see the whole apartment to protect him because we just came out the shelter system and we wanted the kids to get over the trauma before we move again, I'll add details to this post as necessary. we take anything you have basement attic whatever. also my family is well behaved I have 2 girls my wife and I please help us on this because my 13 year old is the love of my life and I im wiling to pay for the month rent even if is a mess is just shelter till we get the the sec8 move packet on the 9/11/2007 just a few weeks.

Hi Angel, My name is Tangella and I have been reading your post. To me it soumd that you believe in God. Well, I would like to ask if you have accepted God as your personal savior. All you have to do is accept him into your life. I mean truly accept him. We all go throuh hard times. The way I see this is God is trying to open you eyes to something different. He wants you to call on him and truly mean it. Not your when you are going trough but at all times. Try God and see how doors will start opening up for you and your kids. Love you and May God Bless. Tangella

well is another day nothing has change my landlord told me he don't care what happens to my family and that he don't care about them becoming homeless again. I pray as hard as I could last night that he may change his mined and take the $600.00 tenant share of the rent and allow us the thirty days we need to get new move packet from sec8, my life always been like this 5 days of happiness and 2 years of hard times. I try to buy a house back in 1998 and became disable and unable to work, just at the time when the bank was working on my loan, sometimes I dream that I hit the lotto and able to buy a nice house in florida next to the beach where my kids play in the sands and I go fishing right out side my house... Is all I have just dreams whenever I try to be happy something or someone shatters my dreams, will I ever have a house in florida next to a beach where I fish and my kids play in the sands? maybe not but is all you have when you have nothing else.

Goodnight to all. I hope and pray for a little miracle, I pray that god will enter my landlords hart tonight and change his mined, I ask him to allow my family thirty days, that I would pay for the month till we get the new move packet from sec8 so that we don't go back to a shelter, but he said no and now it seems that we be in a shelter till whenever. sec8 don't like people to return to a shelter and I hope we don't loose our current sec8, but I have high hopes that a miracle will take place.

I wish I had your options I have never been afraid of hard work in fact I look foreword to a good challenge. but this fight is not like anything you have ever experience, please ask Elaine maybe she can elaborate further and you may see that my situation is not as simple as going to a government office. hope I am not offending anyone with this post is just that my situation is unique and I do read and understand that everyone here is trying to help, is a mater of fact I've never felt more welcome and love than here at this moment Thank you

Sometimes things appear more complicated than they are. My husband was a drunk and a crack addict. I was on disability due to a mental illness. I was terrified. It was either stay and deal with his abuse and addictions and subject my children to him or leave. I left. I had no money and no where to go. I was terrified. That was 12 years ago. I am now employed full time with benefits. My son is in his last year of college. My daughter is graduating a year early from high school to attend college early. No one helped me, but God above. There were times when we were almost homeless. We had to borrow my parents' car too many times to count. We have been to so many food pantries,and social service offices, I thought maybe I should just take up residence there. BUT it was because of my experience that I am here today. That my kids have and are getting an education. I no longer live in fear or who will knock at my door or who is on the other end of the phone. I still get collection calls and shut off notices. But I know I can make it and that my kids are safe, that is all that matters, to me. As for my hubby? well I saw him about a month ago. He applied for visitation. I had to go to court. The court ordered a drug and alcohol evaluation. He set up the appointment to be tested - I thought for sure he would clean himself up and get to see my daughter. When we went back to court, for the results of the drug test, he failed. He tested positive for cocaine and marijuana. ( Remember he made the appointment! He had plenty of time to clean up) The law guardian wanted supervised visitation and hubby withdrew his petition. That was the first and LAST time I have seen him in 12 years!!!! His only concern is his next high. So, if you are wondering if I know what I am talking about, yeah, I do. I have been there.

Elaine now know things that I can not put on public forums. I hope I place my trust in the right persons hands. sometimes things are complicated.

I agree with Elaine on this one. You are those children's only hope. From what you have said, their mother is a useless piece of crap. No child deserves that. Are these your children? If they are then get them and get the hell out of there. Get an order of protection, call CPS/ DCFS have her arrested and find another place to live - with the SECT 8 in YOUR name. If you abandon these children now, you are no better than their mother. Sorry, I know the truth hurts, but it is time to be a man, stand up to her, the system, and protect those children. If you don't who will? Their crackhead mother? She is a lost cause. Get out now. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do what is right by those children.If you don't those kids will end up on the street with a crackhead mom caring for them. Where do you think they would prefer to be?

They need caregivers, and a loving environment not to be threatened and given advice by a brain fried drug addict without a conscience. You can do this on your own.

the section 8 voucher is in her name takes me little time to answer these post because I also need to make food and listen to my kids need sorry about that, but I grew up with out a mother or father and I know kids need parents to talk to and listen to what ever is in their minds.

I've try Elaine I left her I call the police whenever she got crazy, I talk to district attorney whom promise to help but just let her out of jail after she try to kill one of the kids

You can file a TRO against her to prevent her form accessing and or hurting you or the children. You can't possibly be such a coward to bail out on those kids leaving them at the mercy of a drug addicted mother who lost her soul so long ago. WHAT are you thinking? You have a responsibility to those kids find the help you need to get them out of this environment. IT IS AVAILABLE - SAVE THEM and Yourself.

we getting evicted in a few days and we just came out of a shelter 3 years ago, now we are face with the same problem, I have work since the age of 14 I have the social security papers to prove that, I became unable to work since 1999 and now recive SS I wish my kids would not have to go back to a shelter but after their mother mess up again we have no choice I've try to get the city of NY to let me have full custody of my kids since 1991 but they said I can't have that I been living in this nightmare with their mother because is the only way I can monitor the safety of my kids. thank you for reading and careing.

And what is preventing you from taking the kids and the section 8 voucher and leaving her?

Love does not Hurt. Love yourself, I had to do the same to get me out of the dark pit i had lived in for eleven years. It was not easy. Please hang in there.
