I just recently became homeless with my fiance and idk what to do or where to start. We need help bad.
Hello- I have been homeless for almost a year. I was evicted from my ex husband’s parents home that he n I shared together. Eventhough I wasn’t working and he was- The judge told me it wasn’t marital property so he couldn’t grant it to me. I’ve lived in hotel rooms until I couldn’t afford it then lived in a car n tent in Caneycreek and several other sites around the area and then have just had to stay with my oldest daughter which wouldn’t be an issue other than her father is living here too with my youngest. He was granted custody because I didn’t have a home to go after the eviction. I am a domestic abuse survivor of 22, well 24 I guess but separated for almost 2 yrs. He walked out on me and then ten months later came to the house with a gun threatening my his or both of our lives. I left then but again couldn’t afford $80/night hotel’s for long. I lost my job because I couldn’t get there w/o a car. I had been driving my daughters until all this happened and gave it back. My ex has allowed me to stay in our old home- the one I was evicted from, but w/I lights n water. It’s just two doors down from my daughters. I thought that would be ok because I’m not in the house around him and much better then a tent or or car but he has been coming down to the house at all hours starting arguments and wanting me to go back to him. After everything, believe me if I still had family I would have gone anywhere else even though my girls have my heart. I dealt with many yrs so when I had nowhere to go I figured I could deal as I have for sooo long. It’s getting worse now and after many threats of calling the police to get rid of me… which in fact I am trespassing since I’ve legally been evicted,, I’m afraid now not only to not have a place to live but for what the next argument may bring. I just happened across your church while looking for local churches that may help with homelessness. If there might be anything you could do- I’d absolutely be eternally greatful..
