A "MOTHER OF THE GHETTO" OUTCRY

que essence started this conversation

10/4/2006

                              I'm a stay-at-home mother of 4 who's in need of major help. I'm raising a 3 year-old child that is disabled who's in need of ocupational, physical, and speech therapy. Due, to his treatments and schedualing (no weekend hours offered) I'm must return back home limiting my financial imput into the family. We've recently discovered issues with our home that had to have been there before we purchased our home:

1. Basement-(we've discovered that the issues with the plumbing wasn't disclosed to us)( We, have video walk through which shows that the owner hid the issues with the sewer and told us nothing about any issues with pipes)(everything I do from cooking, cleaning , washing comes up through our basement)

2. 1 BedRoom-(Bedroom on cieling has mold/every time it rains because this home has not  gutters the rain is coming into the home causeing the presence of mold/if it's on the ceiling then we really don't know if it's through out the home)

3.Bathroom-(Toilet  has a whole in  the floor that can show the basement/ todler small enough to fall through covered with a baby matress and rugs)

STEPS WE"VE TAKEN TO SOLVE ISSUES WITHOUT ANY POSITIVE OUTCOME:

1. Clergy-"What are you calling me for I'm not a plumber,"

2. Mayor/Alderman-(contacted their office still waiting for a response to emails/faxes dated 9/24/2006)

3. Congressman-(contacted congressman Jesse Jackson jr office said they only help seniors/at least his office called back)

4.US Design and Installation-(came out and gave us a free estimate $21,000!)

5. RCLA-(called them to refinance too many red flags 1. they wanted to hike up my interest rate from 9.3% to 10.9%(when they promised to lower it),2. They, wanted to only give us back 11,000(when they promised us $25,000), 3, They, wanted to add on to my mortage an extra $500.00 to my already high payment taking it from 892 to 1,300!(they promised to lower my payments).

NOTE: We, feel that this would be the outcome for us no matter who we go to inorder to take out a loan.

We, just want to create a Safe Haven for our children.

We, live in what's called a "hot spot" for drug activity and after a series of issues with strangers in the area trespassing on my property we stand in need of a gate but don't have $5,000 for an iron rod fence.

On 7/22/2006

After, a series of issues with people (strangers trespassing on my property) a pit bull was allowed to roam into my back yard. After my husband and the officer got the dog out of the yard, it tried to attack my husband and was shot on my property. This hardest thing about it all was that my then 8/year-old son found the bullet cassing which I hold onto still...................

Please, we need help.......
