Help Leo Rebuild His Life and Business

I never thought I'd ever be in a situation like this, but this past year has really taken a toll on me and my family. Last summer we were dealing with being homeless while squatters had taken over our house we were about to move into, now this summer has started out even worse. My business that I've owned for 9 years now is closed and I'm having to find a new location. Right now all of my equipment and games along with my vendors equipment are being held hostage by my landlord who refuses to release any of my property or my vendors property. Even though the New Hanover County Sheriff's Department says what he is doing is illegal, they can't do anything about it because it's a "civil" matter so I have to take it through the courts.

I have zero income coming in now and my car was just repossessed so now I have no transportation. I'm on the verge of losing everything I've worked hard for. I now have to pay attorney fees and find a good used car and relocate my business once I get all of my property back.

I'm also trying to find work, but after working for myself for the past few decades I'm having difficulties with that as well, on top of this terrible economy, it's not a good combination.

Anything will help right now. I don't want to be standing on a street corner begging so here I am putting myself out there on the internet for the world to see, as embarrassing as this is, I'm having to do anything I can to survive and try to take care of my family.

Even if you can't donate, please share with others.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, Leo
