Hello beautiful friends,

Most of you know me as gracefulvibin or Britt and some of you have been following my story for a long time. I promote mental health and finding your light again but also share all the real raw parts of my life. We tragically and suddenly lost my father 3 years ago. Today is actually his 68th heavenly birthday! He made me promise him that I would always take care of my mom if something happens to him and I've been keeping that promise since the day he left our lives to the heavens above. My father was my mom's everything. Her strength, protector, and the love of her life.

It's been a very difficult few years of trying to grieving his life. Seeing my father after his soul left his body has been traumatic for us all. We know he is in a better place and the heavenly father above has taken away his pain but it something we still feel deeply sad about everyday. We haven't really had a chance to grieve due to our circumstances.

We bought a house in June of 2022, as promised to my dad a place my mom would never have to worry about losing. She lost his income, their savings on medical bills, and is on a fixed income. We thought we were buying our forever home. One that we can all live in as times have changed and times are unaffordable and tough for so many humans. A property we could share as a family and be close to one another.

My parents bought a 5th wheel to travel in but with my dad's sudden passing that was no longer a reality. We hired a realtor to search for a property that my mom's 5th wheel could be on, with that being said we didn't know we were purchasing a property in the only city in Utah where it is illegal to live in and that is where this crazy story begins.

We moved in August 2022 as some necessary renovations needed to be completed and within the first month we found out what kind of neighbors we had. This was not disclosed to us by the previous owner otherwise our lives could look a lot different today. We had the city show up to our house from a call our neighbors placed with the mayors office, to only to find out living in a 5th wheel is against the law and a class c misdemeanor, with fines and jail time.

After not knowing what to do we reached out to the Mayor and she granted us amnesty knowing who we purchased a property next to. The story and resolution unfortunately didn't stop there. We have been emotionally distressed by this entire situation. Our neighbors run their diesel trucks day and night, even in the middle of the night. They rev their engines, park their trucks in the front yard and point the exhaust towards our home and fumigate our houses. They have dogs in an old kennel outside that have barked and whined non stop for the last nearly two years. They breed dogs and put them in kennels behind our house as close to the fence as they can get. Their dogs have dug in our yard many times from the kennel and stuck their heads between the fence and roof barking anytime we do anything in our backyard, their yard is a nuisance with many broken down cars, trailers, 5th wheels, trash, junk, and tires. They are even watching us through a camera that they placed in the window that faces our property directly. They have taken pictures of my nephew outside playing with his water toys. What kind of craziness is this? Extremely unsettling we have felt.

How is this relevant you may ask and why isn't anything being done? This is a good question and this isn't just an issue with us. They have done this for the past 10 years to multiple owners. There is public police records and civil stalking cases that they have even shown to violate. Public news articles of the lack of care of their animals that ended in the worst way possible. There has been numerous police calls on everyone that has lived next to them.

As of last Thursday they said they wanted to harm us and do the worst possible thing a human could say. There is and has never been a peaceful way to speak to these humans. We have had to live our lives in fear, with the police at our house over every little thing (such as having music on and cleaning the yard nothing serious) just petty calls because we are not allowed to live peacefully we have to live in silence. Most of what has and is happening is because my neighbor didn't get her way. Through amnesty we have been protected but revenge and harassment has been the outcome of this awful situation.

This has put so much stress on my family we cant understand why someone else would care so much about how we are trying to survive. Living day to day with no help from the city or police department. The next step is civil stalking and a harassment law suit but that also comes with great risk. An already violent situation can turn even more violent. As recommend our options are to push this farther through a lawyer with risk or move for our own safety.

We have invested all that we have into this home through renovations, electrical upgrade, and recently a new AC and furnace. If this was several years prior we would be able to sell and move but with today's interest rates, rental rates, and living in an area where homes are still overly priced that this is proving impossible leaving us in almost what feels like a helpless situation.

I have to keep the promise to my dad and make sure my mom is always taken care of. This kind of emotional stress isn't good for her, I, or my family. This isn't how she should have to spend her days. Life is so short and she is already hurting from losing the love of her life of 40 years. I begged and broke down to the police Thursday to help keep us safe but their hands are tied until we are physically hurt there is nothing they can do even with the recorded threats.

Some of you kind humans suggested I start a gofundme and as I feel this isn't something I should rely on you all to help me with. There is only so much I can financially do and we are completely depleted.

I need to try and give my family and mother peace and solace. With exhausted efforts and with great sadness I realize that will only happen if we move.

I can provide as much publicly recorded proof to anyone who needs it of this mess we are in. My heart hurts asking for help but in order to get into another house or even rental we do need help.

I appreciate every single one of you that has continually given me hope and light through this dark time. I know god works in mysterious ways so putting this out into the universe I pray signs and doors open up.

Anything left over after expenses I promise to donate to mental health foundations to help others in need of seeing their light and living their best life and/ or create a foundation to help other that are in my situation. We all have our own different stories. At this time I don't even know what the cost of things will be but can update once I receive answers from the professionals.

I pray I can move us to a new location so my mom can spend her years living a peaceful and beautiful life. As much as I want to stay and should not be forced out losing one of my family members isn't worth the risk. This is not your just neighborly tiffs this is much more extreme.

With gratitude and grace,

Brittney
