Nice Guys Should Not Finish Last

Donation protected
My family has suffered immensely from my wife’s genetic condition; Ruby has been exploited and left homeless by her immediate family; we have been living out of our car for over 6 months with child, in and out of moldy hotels just trying to have a comfortable night sleep. 

She has lived her life with a rare debilitating genetic disorder ”Fabry's”, it is a lysomal storage disorder.  It makes everyday things other people come to enjoy very tiring and painful.  Just to be able to sit down to watch Tv is impossible for fearing of getting stuck or straining a ligament.   It has become very hard for her to keep on weight because eating is a painful process & difficult to just keep food down most days.  Because of this condition every cell in her body struggles with absorption of nutrients and despite being born this way, she suffered for years under her Father who acted as her PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.  The trauma she has endured left her permanently hyper active causing her to develope an auto immune disease in addition to the already rare genetic disorder; the family that still insists they’ve ”helped her” was never seen by anyone, and forced Ruby to have to watch her organs and condition decline as she worked through the  MANY obstacles they’ve put up between her and her healthcare, friends, family. 

When I first found Rubes again in 2015, she came back from an extended trip where her family left her stranded in NYC.  Nothing about her situation made any sense.  Her family was well off.  Her father, a doctor lived in a $500k+ neighborhood,  while she was struggling to survive on someones couch, paying “rent”— which was merely supporting a family members drinking habit.  Ruby’s home of 10 yrs that was given to her by granthfather, was taken away by her brother-in-law and sister knowing well that she was suffering with a debilitating undiagnosed illness.


It has taken the both of us many years and we aren’t even at appropriate and safe place when it comes to her health, care and way of living. It took much dedication and resources to help Ruby the way RUBY needed to be helped. She has only been diagnosed since January of 2018 and only get minimal relief from her treatment because her condition is so advanced.  I’ve learned along this way many things about people, help and our own selfishness. We cannot say we’ve helped someone when they aren’t even benefiting from what ever it is we insist is the help! 

It has had been painful process watching her discover how her suffering was intentionally  imposed upon her.  Her grandfather left her everything in his estate after his passing, and yet Ruby has literally nothing to show for because of her father and immediate family.   In fact we discovered her FATHER took it all and sees everything that was his father’s and his children’s an wife’s as HIS alone. HE WAS NOT LEFT ANTHING BY HIS OWN FATHER.  Ruby tried to get her siblings to help her recover what their grandfather was trying to preserve and leave for them-— instead, they decided to go along with the father, gang up on Ruby and take everything she was to inherit.  All of this done by illegal means through neglect and exploitation of her and her genetic illness.  They couldnt even leave her with her home, they abandoned her while she wassearching for medical help for her undiagnosed condition in 2014 in NYC; for 6mos with no money or means of getting back to he home.  Giving her immediate family the opportunity to gut her house and take it as squatters.

Her entire life she suffered with physical, mental and emotional abuse from her father and the trauma of living with an undiagnosed genetic illness.  Her muscles are in a constant strain making her look far more fit then she really is.  Because the the strain it very difficult to get around without some assistance or to comfortably pick up and carry my 2 yr old baby girl; so she requires a service dog to help her with the weakness of my muscles.
 
Ruby St John, 

I has suffered with this disorder all of my  life. It has been a struggle since I was a child because my immediate family who are all medical professionals, they have told me they believed my sickness was all in my head.   They have put me thru abuse & neglect; especially from my parents and It has been ongoing into adulthood.  My father who was once claimed to be my primary care made sure that i never saw an outpatient doctor to assess my other conditions to establish a diagnosis.   Having spent most of my life in either my fathers home bed ridden and malnourished or in the hospital for extensive periods with doctors stumped on why I was so sick and in pain.

The home I inherited from my grandfather and had lived in for and neglected for 9 years by my family was later stolen by my brother-in-law and sister, leaving me homeless since 2014. I have tried every year since to regain possession of my home and continue to be denied by my family that resides there. Mainly my brother-in-law, he has called emergency services on me to remove me from the property from inside my home that they stole from me.   I have been discriminated by the St Petersburg Police Department who have forcefully removed me and attempted to arrest me for burglarizing my own home.  Telling them I had no where to live they still refuse to help me even as a vulnerable adult.

This abuse has become onging cycle since my grandfather’s passing in 2005, but I hate to play the victim.  I have been abused, neglected,  harrassed and victimized by the people I once put my trust into who I thought was family.  They are using state government organizations and courts to justify  this criminal activity against me to allow the abuse, neglect and ongoing exploitation of me as a vulnerable adult.

I request help with real legal representation with my pending legal case and or Funding to make proper legal representation possible to recover my Grandfather’s Squandered estate, assist in maintaining our help (Merlin May need workup for cancer). To pursue nessary legal remedies to get our case to the state prosecutors the only way to recover retribution...  Your support will support assist us in making the last few days of this horridly long, drawn out legal mess significantly less traumtic; especially reguarding our 2yo and loyal service dog, we could all use a break. There is no telling how many attempts it will take for us to succeed within the courtroom. Help with housing or hotel expenses so I can concentrate on finishing my lawsuit against the family and the state that has abused us.

Thank you all, love you.
Please gives us you love and prayers.
