Dearest Codgerette,

I am a 35y working mother of 5 with a disabled husband. We had a $60,000 annual income. Both of us suffered 2 accidents each in a period of less than 2 years. We were left with no income and became homeless. We held a yard sale and got all the money we could. We kept the most essential items in storage. It was not easy, I will not lie. But, this can happen to anyone. We were fortunate enough to have relatives who allowed to stay with them while we got on our feet. Today we are moving towards the opportunity to finally own a home of our own! It was very difficult though. I worked for a local public school system and made a whopping $13,000 annual income as a Para Educator and had to support a family of 7. You would be amazed on how we cut corners to survive. Our friends were always shocked to see that we lived with only the essentials. We did not even purchase paper towels! But, it made us better human beings. We appreciate every little thing that we have! At one point I had to work 3 jobs to make ends meet! The one thing that I can tell you that you must do is nuture your spiritual health! No matter what your situation as long as you have faith, hope, and love, you will be fine. I sincerely wish you the best and I completely understand how you must feel right now. May God Bless You and keep you safe! My heart goes out to you! Just take your time and create a plan. I have faith that you will find your way! There are many programs out their! Do not be afraid to ask for help. We currently live in HUD Assisted Housing and we are very comfortable and proud of how far we have come! We used assistance getting food as well. I did take 5 years for my husand to get his disability but, we survived it all because we had hope! It was very hard to "crack" and ask for help but, we do not regret doing it! Do not be afraid, help will come from the least expected places and people!

Sincerely,

Dreamktcher

I think you need a lawyer or an advocate. Go to legal-aid where you can get advice for free to try to fight this. Is there an elder advocacy group in your town? AARP? I don't think you can be evicted due to age or infirmity--it's discrimination. I could be wrong, but this hardly seems legal.

Hello codgerette,

I am so sorry that you and your husband is going through this difficult and trying time in your lives.

Please consult with a lawyer....I don't believe that your husband's son can evict you due to his disability and anything ...dates and times you are aware of......of when your husband's son spoke to you about this eviction...keep note of......including any further discussions-phone conversations, email.....or in person....keep this information to provide to the courts.....

I do believe it is illegal for him to do this to his father.......

A consultation with a lawyer is usually free.....and he or she will determine if it is something that can be won.......

Since you don't have the money to pay the lawyer.......ask the lawyer if it is possible for him to charge you with partial earnings from the winnings of the case...and see if he can work with you this way......

God is good and merciful....... He is with you both during good and bad times.....

Please do not lose faith and know that He will save you from suffering......

I can understand what your worries....but if you come to the point where you have to sell your things....please do not give up your family photos....they are priceless and irreplaceable........your husband may be suffering from memory loss.....but having those pictures around for him to look at can spark his memory.........even if it is just for a moment....you never know....but family photos......truly are irreplaceable........maybe you can find a storage bin where you can keep them ......

God will see you through this......

Here is a little prayer for you and your husband......

Dear Heavenly Father, Dear Jesus, and Holy Spirit, and Blessed Virgin Mother Mary,

Please watch over "codgerette," and her husband who need your help.....your strength, your guidance, your support....your mercy,.....your love........Heavenly Father, Dear Jesus and Holy Spirit, you are good and merciful,......please stay with all of your chlidren,...please stay with "codgerette" and her husband during this confusing and difficult time in their lives..... please provide for them a place of rest where they will be safe, kept clean, and fed,......please guide any family or friends of theirs to extend their homes to them especially during this holiday season........it will be soon cold this winter if it is not already wherever they may be......you always provide shelter.....and I have faith in you that you always do provide for your children with what we need.......as well as provide for all of your children who seek you and for your help......

Please stay with them Heavenly Father and let them know that they will be okay, inspite of how confusing and difficult this time is for them........please keep them close to you and embrace them with your ever merciful love.

Heavenly Mother, Please intercede for all of those that seek the help of your only Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, Our God.

Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. (say this 10 times -individually or together...alternating with a rosary.......can be one way to pray to Our Heavenly Father and Dear Jesus.)

For this I ask in your blessed name, Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen.

I hope you and your husband will be alright.....please never give up hope.....or faith.....God ismwith you always! no matter how difficult life gets. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you.....

May God bless you and your husband. Take Care.
