I am a wife,MOTHER and Grand MOTHER, I've always tried to do the right thing,teach morals to my children.like most mothers. I live for my family .money never flowed but we countered that with Love,Respect. And Devotion. As it happens money never entered our minds when sisters abandoned by their drug addicted mom became apart of our Family, with 9 children,1 step- son it brings the total to 12. We all come from Philadelphia, and I've always opened our home to people in need,sheltering some,being a sounding broad for teens and adults having trouble at home. But with inner city violence escalating, we had to move our Family, 2001 we moved 11 of our children 500+ miles to Blacksburg, we wanted them to have more choices and to be safer.

However now my family lost everything due to malicious lies,racism, stereotyping and harrassment. I never stopped helping people,giving shelter and advising. And that was used against us,that many people=drugs. There weren't that many and they never bothered a soul. We were accused of drugs after every eviction was over turned by the truth,the bigots labelled our children gangs.,so on a mutually agreed upon time (in our fourth year there) the property managers aid alleged a homemade water bong was in plain sight along with an hookah (which is legal) in the basement we used for storage, put aside the fact that not so much as a film of anything illegal was found,not even next to the alleged apparatus or in the whole house. Eviction, On attorney advice we moved,their lawyer said our slate was clean, both mine and their lawyer said the no trespassing order was obtained with false information. But it hasn't stopped them,the harrassment and sabotage of other homes we found. Its been 9+months and nothing,the few not under them were told blatant lies ,we are lost
So I've begun a cause simply. We need to buy a Home, check out Facebook pages Homeless and our Family Challenge. Because I am challenging myself to over come for my family and the thousands of other homeless people.
Contrary to popular lies we aren't takers nor invisible, not drug addicts,alcoholics, gamblers or losers. One lost job,a prolong illness, recessions, racism,and government Downsize. Or budget cuts and you could be us.
