homeless jo here. ✌☕⚖️
Neither the UK nor the US has a "homeless problem".
Each country has an Unaccountable Slumlords Problem.
My twenty years of work right here in Jackson County supports this, and my homelessness is a direct result of my doing my job too well.
I have no regrets and I make no apologies for protecting vulnerable victims from criminal multimillionaire Slumlords.
It's my pleasure to expose them. ⚖️
........
I'm asking for funds to help me get to the UK. I need to see my Mum for a while. She sent letters and cards when I was working for Raynolds but since being evicted not one word.
After our visit I'm coming back here as this where my work is.
I am homeless in america in 2025.
Being homeless changes who you are.
.........
Background:
In 2015, AND again in 2019 I actually saved someone else's house, in England, from being repossessed.
My house was repossessed.
I saved their house. TWICE. The first time I sent them £3,000 which was every pound I had, so they didn't lose their house, too.
All the international banking transactions and the delivery of funds via various means are available, obviously.
In 2019 they engaged in another positive financial interaction and a solution for a problem that the person could not, themselves, solve.
With that assistance I also helped secure them additional free private financing - even though they are totally ineligible for any loans anywhere.
I obtained a lender to fund TWO of their businesses in England which were set up in August 2019.
Southern Oregon University Small Business Development Center business advisors know all about this private money lending.
Now nobody will answer me, and several people are threatening me.
Something's very wrong.
........
This is a complex account of systems corruption.
The good news is there's a very simple solution.
Right now I just need a plane ticket and two passports. I need to see my Mum, and get some things from our house.
I can do everything but print money: That's my employer's family.
I have investigated, recorded, and reported private landlords' crimes, and how the system uses homelessness to its own advantage.
Because I have done these things I have been made homeless and not yet been remunerated for all the work I've done.
It will happen, but sometimes life runs out first.
I will be grateful for any kindness anyone shows, in any form!
I don't want to be here asking. I should not have to be here asking.
I have done nothing wrong. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help.
I shall be grateful for any assistance as I continue my work in both countries.
This is one way of summarising the reason for my being here asking for your consideration.
It's a bit academic, but that's who I am.
Trust me; this is not what I wanted to have to do.

'Slumlord Problem: Homelessness as political punishment for exposing unethical practice by employers' j. Gilbert MA.
I am a Masters level Applied Psychologist. In 2006 Southern Oregon University gave me to Sharon Bolles, a volunteer "clinical supervisor" at the university. Our cohort graduated in 2008.
In 2012 Sharon Bolles asked me to work for her husband, Nando Raynolds, company RAYNBO LLC.
Among other businesses and names he has a private rental property business. He employed his own wife, too, for a few years but he fired her in 2015.
Sharon completely forgot to tell me Nando had fired her.
......
I, myself, worked for Nando for ten years: 2012 to 2022.
Nando evicted me for reporting RAYNBO LLC Oregon Landlord Tenant, Employment, Civil Rights, and Tax law violations. He was making tenants pay for services that Landlords are required to provide, then those services were cut off by the Owners as punishment for making enquiries about this, and other properties' violations.
Somehow Raynolds found about about the reports agencies had requested.
Whistleblower reports are supposed to be anonymous.
How did Raynolds and Bolles find out?
Then the written threats and intimidation began. About eight or nine handwritten, some signed! ✒️
Then he evicted me. Memorial Day 2022.

I have managed to learn to be homeless. I can only shower twice a week; fifteen minutes.
I volunteer at two places, and I have forty years in healthcare provision, and investigative research. Sometimes I can help!
I have always supported myself, and sometimes others. I have always lived within my means.
But at this time I need to ask for some help, for myself.
If ever there were a story describing what it was like,
what happened, and
what it's like now, this is one!
✌☕⚖
It took me about eighteen months to get used to being homeless. The last two and a half years to try and learn from homeless peers.
The homeless people with whom I coexist are AMAZING. The resilience, the humour, some of the brightest people I've ever met, with brilliant brains and incredible skill sets, are brutalized and arrested simply for covering themselves with a tarpaulin when it rains.
It's disgusting. It's pathetic. It's cowardly. And it was all already planned by 2003.
........
Since May 2022 I've been lied to, stolen from, physically assaulted, threatened, bullied and harassed, and several attempts to falsely arrest me have been videoed, witnessed, and totally derailed.
Witnessed by other homeless advocates, and recorded on many occasions.
Some offenses were committed by my former employer/landlords. Some by other homeless people.
........
The last time I was able to see my Mum was 2015. Ten years with no contact now needs to come to an end.
I haven't received an answer to my phone calls. The phone rings but there is no working answering machine. No return receipts from mail I sent have been returned.
Something is very wrong and I am going to find out what's been going on while I've been here, homeless, threatened, and helping everyone I can.
It will be nice to sleep inside for a few days and shower more than twice a week, which is what it's like now.
I am always trying to support myself. I am trying to get work.
When Raynolds evicted me I was 59.
Being 62 now I am discriminated against either for being too old OR overqualified for jobs I could easily do.
I have not been able to get work since 2024 when my last employer, Sharis Restaurant, simply filed bankruptcy after a million dollars money went missing, and Shari's cost us all our income.
We victims did nothing wrong.
The Owners are surveyors, real.estate brokers, bankers, lawyers and private lenders. Of course nobody will help!
Sharis Managementnl Corp. consists of Hornecker, Batzer, Leever, Pulver, Hoffbuhr, Smith, Wright, Olsen, Anderson.
Then there's Dickey. Bunn. Strauss. Keys. And Ayala.
........
Anyway, I am and always have been willing to work for money. Right now I have to beg.
If anyone wants to use my expertise I am available.
Any contributed funds can be accounted for quite easily. This trip will be recorded as I go and shared on my YouTube channel.
We are all going to travel together. And we all come back again, together.
This is just about as basic a trip as it gets: A ticket; two passports; travel insurance; and a few other incidental travel -related costs. Bus tickets. an eSIM.
Maybe a cup of tea.
You'll see where every penny goes.
As we travel, and as I share with you, I hope that we might see some learning exchanges occur.
