I won't be on much for the next bit. I have to move..
I was told that no matter how many doctors and agencies write for my son & I to be transferred to a more safer and cost effective and repaired place - they wont do it. Not even to the city next to the town I live in.
Their reasons... (My response is bold)
1. "No matter where you go... your son will have bullies. With his condition - it is a given. You have to deal with that "
- He will have some bulling yes. He has high functioning Autism - Asperger's Syndrome.. but they are condoning it by not doing anything.
2. "No matter where you go - you will have ppl that will destroy your property (even if it is in your yard). Bring everything in at night and it will cut down those chances. It is the way society is now a days - sad but true."
It isn't just my son's toys that they went after but my car as well.and toys from other kids in this neighbood
3. You need a 2 bedroom place and we are limited on that kind of accommodations. Now if you had 2 kids we could put you in a 3 bedroom house.But it just being you and your son - we can't. Our hands are tied."
This is funny since they have a single woman in a 3 bedroom. Their jusyifaction is that when she moved there she did have her kids. They were taken from her due to the fact that she was neglectful and her place was a known drugs place.
4. "We can't fix the windows or replace the fridge as there is no money in the budget for it. If we fix your windows then we have to fix all the windows for every one. And if we did things like that for everyone we would have to raise rents. "
This really gets me. Even when my windows are closed the wind still moves the curtains. The weather stripping is off the windows. They said that they have to replace the windows.. that "it can't just be repaired.". The fridge is always freezing the food and other times thawing it. I have lost alot of food in the last 4 years living here. They have 'repaired' the fridge about 5 times. And still waiting for them to come fix the dryer. The element doesn't turn off even when the cycle is complete. This is a fire hazard.
5. "the best thing for you and your son is to move out and find something privately. It will be double what you pay now but we can't help you and it looks like this is what is needed for you two."
I completely agree with us moving out of here... and I would in a heart beat - if the money was there to do so. I am on disability. I get $1000 a month to live on.. I can't afford to put out $600 for rent, plus utilities. I pay $330, plus utilities now.
So This Is Why I Put On My Status That I Am Packing And Why I Am So Stressed Lately.
I do apologize to friends that I have neglected over the last few weeks...
