Disabeled ArmyVet.Scammed home taken need housing.

I am a highly decorated Army Purple Heart recipient Disabeled War Veteran. I gave my entire life to Serve my county and had no problem putting my life on the line to do so. Well in 2007 I was hit by a rocket while on deployment in Iraq . After returning home I went thru many challenges one of those was being attacked while at a local pub honoring a friend that was a state trooper that was killed on duty.  A group of local gang bangers attacked me with pool sticks beating me almost to death. As if it weren't enough surviving being hit by a rocket. Well it took a full year of therapies to recover enough to walk and talk normal again but there was other damages that cause my  marriage to fall to pieces. After a hard divorce. Depression and the Ptsd put me into a bad down hill place and I began to have more and more medical issues came up. But then I came across a young gal that lifted me up and gave me that young felt drive again and i believed that it was a mutual bonding love that was just amazing to me. NOT TO BE MISTAKEN IT WAS FAR FROM THE CASE. This gal had done her homework and I'm guessing was trained by another. I spent the next two years awaiting a court settlement for my injuries sustained after the death of state trooper Tony Rafilesku. It was not alot but it paid off the medical bills and left me enough for a down payment for the house i currently lived in for 18yrs and the owner passed leaving it to her son. That being said he offered the home to me for a low price cause his mom wanted me to have it. This is where it gets busy. I had to put my money from my settlement into home to upgrade and make it a safer dwelling. So it began the process and it had to be down qwick to buy the house or he would put it on market i had just a montj with a month extension for closing. First I started on the removal and instilation of all new up to code electrical and inspected. Everything anytjing electrical.  Even hard wired smoke detectors drop in led lighting even outside GFI outlets. Next was to tear off the 60yr old roof and hire Connely Roofing Co. From right here in tacoma. I put there name out because for a veteran they helped me get it done gave me a great price and extra discount along with getting it done in just 2days. And it was a complete roof redo with a 50yr product warrenty. On comes the removal of all old cast plumbing that was failing all the time and replacement with a filtration system in line and all new plumbing thru out house.  Now after $50,000  put into house the owner would sell house to me for q very good price but bad news upon selling a glitch I had a state placed lean on me for some small amount of back child support. Yet time ran out and I only had a couple days to get the house signed and done or was gonna loose it and that meant all the work and $ I put in would be as well. This was my mistake I failed to not listen to words my mom told me. I dont like that girl and I dont trust her. Well at that point I had no reason to not and I had no other option so I had her sign the paperwork as I gave over $20 000 more I had borrowed from my uncle Neil. He loaned that to me so I could have the house and feel safe and have the place I wanted for me and my now bride to be because we got engaged to get married since we were going to be buying the house even set date for wedding. I know this is long but everyone needs to know the hell i was about to go thru now after going to wars, and being almost killed just blocks away from home. This gal I was about to marry changed over night it seemed finally got a job and always had to work and was using my car to go to and fro. Things seemed off so I started to keep an eye open yet she continued to plan for wedding on her spare time even asking my step brother and best friend to be in wedding as best man.  But when wedding date was almost here she went off to work in my car that I got from the passing of my father and not to return for weeks and it became hell. Story after story she told people to cover her tracks but uet the whole time she had another man and whom she had even gotten married to infound out by seeing on Facebook and then checking public records. Three months later I m givin a rental agreement with purchase option. Yes scammed she was out for money. Money in which i didn't have because i had put it already in to the house that she now wanted to sell me to make hard cash off of.   Mad pissed what to do other than rent qnd try to come up with more money so I wouldn't loose the now $120,000  I put into the house. I had almost the amount she asked and then she changed it wanting yet more and i said no way so she started to try to evict me illegally but still made attempt even by falsified court docs.  Then one morning I woke to a line of cars outside my home and she had put out to resistors she was having an open house to sell it.  One of the brokers stated they had already purchased and another was about to. I was fierce and explained to them the situation qnd the burden that would soon follow because i was going to sue qnd put lean on house. Yet one of those worked for a company that seen $s and didn't really care but played as if they did. They did q qwick cash sale on house and gave her $199,000 and signed then i was notified and harassed for months to move out or be evicted even tho i had a lawsuit against the person before sale and them fully knowing so my attorney I had hired added them to the lawsuit and was attempting to put lean on house. Oh now it was good i was told by attorney yet in just a few months the company that bought the house had there attorney counter claim against me for all kinds of bs even that I was squatting on property. I ask what squatter you know puts $120,000 into a house and pays to keep on qll utilities . None right. Well qt this point its now july2020 and my attorney tucks tail and runs on me leaving me just before courts start with my case of the counter suits and haven me evicted or I should say no i am to be forcefully removed by the local sherrifs because i wasn't any longer q Tennant ! Just how do they change that because they first treated me as such but when it didn't work they say I was a squatter please....  now Its Fri end of July and I can't get any help because it takes weeks to get legal help with this case here and i have 1 day till the judge wants my statement so she can make a  judgement without verbal objections after court takes a week break and returns on the 7th which would have been today But instead of it going that way the attorny for the other company sends an email stating that he disagrees with her decision on waiting till the 7th so the judge then changes it for the attorney in his favor now because this is by email and in which i dont even have internet.  Nor representation so I have not a clue this all is going on now till fri the 4th in which the judge ordered me to be thrown out by force using the police and for the police to return owned property to this new company . Now get this i have 3 service dogs a 6yr old child and a girlfriend that lives with and cares for me along with my fathers family airlooms and my grandfathers family airlooms as I am the only surviving son. And this company tells me I have till the 14th to remove all my belongings and self out by the 14 of Aug 2020 yes 7 days agaon I  a disabeled veteran. And I have called for help and got nothing even tje pierce county veterans assistance said get this once you loose your home and are homeless for 24hrs then u can apply for the assistance and we can help.  So I am tp loose everything and have nothing that I gave my life foe or my dad that served before me or his father and loose there stuff as well. Loose my service dogs loose the property I lived on for 23 years and put my money into and did my recovery on and also loose my safe place as I am do  and am suffering from PTSD.  O yes I am screaming for help and I mean Help me please ... its my entire life. 

FOR ANY AND ALL OF YOU THAT DO HELP I AM GREATFULL FOR IT AND KNOW YOU ARE THE ONES I SERVED AND GIVE MY LIFE FOR  GOD BLESS YOU  AND GOD BLESS THIS COUNTY FOR IT NEEDS IT  AS I DO
