I'm Homeless n feelin Hopeless

Donation protected
I dont really have an amount for a goal in mind as i can barely plan for tomorrow let alone today at this point. I really need help financially. I have an RV but am struggling to keep it because where i am the lot rent is roughly $50 a day i have a promo that brings it to $35 a day from sunday through thursday. But im waiting on a call back list to get into a diffent park that is 300 a month. I don't have a truck to tow it so every day I'm at risk of not being able to pay and having the RV towed and impounded. If that happens I will become homeless again and the chance to get my 5 year old back won't be a possible any time soon. I'll do my best to give some back story here I have a hard time talking about my son and the reasons surrounding his removal. I had no idea glorida handled things the way they did. They have lied, and manipulated siatuations to appear like they were warranted in taking him. Ive never been away from my son since they day he was born. He is such a smart, incredibly smart little guy that knew how to fully read at the age of 4! He amazes me daily. I hate that erveryday that passes is a constant reminder of time ive lost with him. It has taken me all of 8 almost 9 months to get to where I am right now. Feeling helpless, hopeless, and doubting my ability to get my family out of this situation. I have lost entirely everything most of which can be replaced but my family being split up like this, our dog...it's the things that you can't get back, the time that is lost that wears on me daily. I often wonder how I'm able to even get up everyday Just to be fighting for things like whether ill have a comfortable place with water n electric to sleep that night. Let alone when ill have money for groceries again. I don't give up easily, i used to be a very positive self motivated person that believed no matter what you want to do or be the power to have that lays within you solely. but given everything that has happen and how I got where I am right now it starts to make me realize that you can be doing everything for yourself, be doing everything right, and things beyond ur control can in a blink of an eye take that all away. 
           Covid hit everyone hard I was fortunate to be able to pay my rent each month all thru the start of the covid Epidemic. My landlord at the time was struggling just as the rest of us. Our rent just covered his mortgage payment for the house. So he had told me one of the last time I dropped rent off that he was looking to refinance the house. Apparently somewhere between than and the following week that changed to him selling the house. He was ultimately able to sell the house for almost double what he bought it for. He put in a good word for us and told the new buyers we were good tenants, never behind in rent , they agreed to keep us on as tenants after the sale. But that's not what happened these investor's came in bought the house we rented along with a few others in Beverly Hills and once the sale was final handed out eviction notices. With no reason on them at all. The court process was very fast and before you know it we were evicted. It immediately made me and my family homeless. I had 2 teenagers, a 4 years old, my husband,  and my disabled 62 year old mother that I take care of all on the side of the road Watchung everything we owned be drug out to the road, our family dog had to go to the animal shelter. My vehicle had broke down a month before and I had to walk away and leave that too. I was never well off financially by any means. But I always had everything we needed just not much extra. So I didn't have money in the bank for emergency situations. I was instantly unsure of what I could even do as we walked away on foot. I have no other family here other than the ones that lived with me. I ran thru all resources i could find for housing assistance, homeless coalition, shelters and nothing was working out as they told me alot of people are in the same situation right now . Ultimately I had to put my mother and 17 year old son in a shelter in crystal river, my oldest 18 year old went to Vermont where we originally came from, and that left myself, husband and our 4 year old.
       Fast forward through alot of struggling and barely getting by, a friend I did have connected us to a guy he worked for that had a big house in lacoochee that just sat there it was technically his place to live but he worked around the clock and was willing to let us stay there for a little while.  He did inform us that the owner was planning to demolish the house and rebuild but we would have a couple months before that happened. It was nice at first and I really thought things were going in thr right direction. He would come hoke around 3am but leave again about 6am for work 7 days a week. So we barley even crossed paths.  I was still struggling with transportation but at least we had a consistant place to be, where I could cook for my son, and bathe him...ect.   but it later became apparent that this guy had alterior motives. I can't even go into detail here as it's pretty out there. But ultimately he thought for some reason that I may be wiling to leave my husband for him. Although I've been married for 13 years because my husband suffers from mental health issues I guess maybe he thought I could do better or whatever. But he didn't understand that I was married to exactly who I wanted to be. Things got crazy he kept telling my husband he had to leave constantly trying to pick fights with my husband to entice a physical altercation in order to have him arrested. He went thru alot of different methods to get my husband out of the picture. Well recently he somehow managed to get the cops to arrest my husband and charge him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. My husband did nothing but put his arm up in between himself and this guy who was aggressively in his face threatening us. But he told the cops he had a knife and threatened his life. The next morning while I was packing mine n my son things I got a knock on the door and it was DCF he had called and reported violence in front of my son and whatever else he said. And they took my son that day. My husband's charges have since been dropped by the state, DCF is essentially holding my son for unknown reasons. I have begged them to tell me what they want from me to at least get him back with an in home safety plan as they refer to it. The only thing they have said to me is reference to domestic abuse. But I have never had a single incident of domestic abuse at all. They keep doing this referral to casa which is for domestic abuse but there not hearing me when I say this guy has lied everything he has said is not true my husband spent 21 days in jail because of his lies that luckily got sorted out and dropped. So that's where I am right now. I have court thus comung Monday to petition the court to reconsider the shelter order as we no longer live with this guy that the problems all came from, the reports he made were lies. And the charges were even dropped on my husband. But I need a place to live right now I have an rv I know that's not ideal I do but that's the only thing I have ultimately I need a vehicle in order to be able to start working again. And be financially stable enough to get an apartment or soemthing. I have nobody to give me rides anywhere at all. I have to walk almost 4 miles just to go to the store. I'm truly defeated and am always moments away from not even having this RV to live in. This is my last desperate attempt to keep this rv. I don't want to face the reality of how long I'll be away from my son for if I lose this rv. I have considered maybe selling it. It's a risk for sure but if I can sell.it for the right amount that may be just what I need to be able to get a vehicle and a place to live other than this rv. I really miss my son they have only allowed me 1hour a week visit with him and they have canceled the last 2 weeks on me which is unfair and shouldn't even be allowed or condoned. I've never in my life needed help like I do now. So if anybody who takes the time to read this (I know it's long) and I even left alot out. And can help in anyway. You'd be making a huge impact on my families life and the goal of getting us all back together. I currently owe for today's stay at the RV Park which is $50, and come morning ill owe for another day which will be $35 with my Promo. I fear they will make me leave and tow the rv if I'm not able to pay for the lot by tomrorow. Or get a truck to be able to leave. I've been allocating every dime I get to this lot rent daily. Even as far as going without food n necessary items just to pay for another day.
