Please help us get to Florida

Donation protected

My name is Lisa Fiumara. I live with my boyfriend (Eugnene Sr), his grandson (Eugene III), my son Brandon and his friend Jahmir. Brandon has a 5 month old son and we will be seeing if his girlfriend's mom will allow his girlfriend and son to move down to Florida with us.

We are trying to get down to Florida. Eugene III's mother and brother live down in Kissamee, Florida. They told me that there are jobs down in Florida and the motels are cheaper. For example, you can get a motel room for almost $37. Motels up here are expensive. The motel that we at is charging different rates for each person who comes here. 

My boyfriend, Eugene and his grandson, Eugene III get social security. I had a job about 2-3 weeks ago but it was temp and the assignment ended. Up here in Allentown, PA many jobs, espically warehouse jobs are temp jobs. And many jobs are part-time here. 

My boyfriend has COPD. His grandson has mental illneesses. He's been in the hospital over 14 times in the last 3 years. His grandson has about 5 mental illnesses-anxiety/panic attacks, OCD, AHDH, Bipolar disorder, depression, touretts syndrome and possible hypothroydism. 

We've been living in motels since last April. We had to sleep in the car for about 6 days in May until our money came in. We lost our house in April. I lost the house because, I believe that our lawyer didn't do their job. They laywer filed chap 7 instead of chap 13 and never told me. He told me to ignore the sherriff sale notices and when the house was sold, he said that it was my fault and that I didn't give him the right paperwork even though I did. We contact PA Representive Charlie Dent and he gave me numbers to call. The PA supreme court and the PA banking assoictation is investingating. 

We want to leave Allentown, PA and goto Florida. There are very few jobs up here. Also, it would be better for my boyfriend to get away from the stress espically from his children. His daughter wants him to go live with her and he refuses to go but his daughter won't back off. HIs son even wants him to go with his daughter, they refuse to respect his wishes.

Eugene III's mom also lives in a motel and she wants us to come down to Florida and get away from the crap going on.  We asked some of our family members for help when we needed it, and they turned their back on us. My boyfriend's daughter said "I ain't helping you people". Eugene III (boyfriend's grandson) went to his dad's house and came a few days later to the motel, he had asthma attack at his dad's house (his house stinks). Not only that, my boyfriend's daughter harassed Eugene's III mom recently on FB claiming that her dad was supposed to goto her dad's house and Eugene III was supposed to goto her dads.

My boyfriend wants badly to get out of PA and to Florida to get away from his kids. We all want to get away from what is going on and start a new life. Up here in Allentown, PA, there aren't a lot of jobs. Shelter's are full. The motels up here are expensive. Too much stress coming on us from my boyfriend's family, his children won't stop and respect his wishes.

Once we get down to Florida, we'll get a motel room. Lisa will be getting a job. And what we'll do is put money aside to get our own place. Eugene III is working on building his credit so that we can get our own place.
