#SaveOurLand #StopPredatoryForeclosure

58.84 acres in Red Oak, TX—a booming Dallas-Fort Worth area—only to face relentless racial harassment, legal exploitation, and systemic bias.

The Crisis

Racial Targeting: A dead cow was dumped on my property days after purchase. Neighbors made bigoted remarks like, “We don’t want anyone from South Dallas here,” and weaponized false county violations and lawsuits to drain my resources.
Legal Sabotage: A manipulated court judgment blocked access to my own land, despite my deed’s clear rights. A clerical error delayed my agricultural tax exemption, triggering a predatory tax lien.
Predatory Foreclosure: A Catholic priest/lienholder (Paul Weinberger) refused to communicate, ignored proof of payments, and pushed foreclosure—forcing me into Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop the auction. Now, I face a $10,200/month bankruptcy payment (double my mortgage) and a court system siding with creditors.
The Urgent Need

No Way Forward: Losing Our Land With No Options Left

I'm out of moves. After years of harassment, legal battles, and systemic roadblocks, we're being forced off our land with no recourse left.

This fight has taken everything:

Our rightful ownership stripped away piece by piece
Every legal effort blocked or turned against us
The system working exactly as designed to take what's ours
The land - our family's legacy in thriving Red Oak - should be our foundation. Instead, it's become ground zero in a battle where the rules keep changing and every door slams shut.

We've tried appeals. We've fought in court. We've done everything possible within a system that refuses to see us as rightful owners. Now we're left watching helplessly as what's ours slips away.

Is there any path we haven't tried? Any way to be heard? Right now, it feels like we're shouting into the void.

#NoOptionsLeft #SystemFailure #LosingOurLand


Donations will fund:
✔ Legal fees to overturn fraudulent judgments
✔ Debt validation to halt wrongful foreclosure
✔ Advocacy to expose systemic injustice

This isn’t just about land—it’s about fighting a system rigged against Black landowners. Every dollar helps reclaim what’s rightfully ours.
