Mini-Profile
I am a mother of 3 children. For about 10 years of their life, my husband had beaten and emotionally abused me. Being in those shoes… being scared to death, I found it hard to leave. Then the state of ny stepped in and took my children. The state said that “I could have left at anytime that I wanted too.. and because I allowed the beatings, the state of ny found a neglect charge on me.” After losing my oldest daughter to her father… because of the abuse.. I got the courage to finally leave… My children and I could not be happier.. we were free…. so I thought… I had an order of protection on my husband in which I learned that it was just a piece of paper with my name on it.. Everytime the order was broken.. the police department in which I lived kept telling me “everything that your husband is doing are accidents.” This meant that every time he dialed my phone number several times a day.. breaking into my house.. following me… were all accidents… He was never punished… never arrested…. So after about 4 months of this harrassing and being scared.. I moved myself and my children 6 hours away.. thinking that we were finally safe. Until one day when he was seen sitting in my drive way for about 4 hours waiting for me to return home. This only showed that we were not safe. About a month of being free.. happy and able to be ourselves… The state of ny stepped in and told me that ” I violated my neglect charge by moving out of the county in which it was placed on me… That i had to hand over my children to them or I would be arrested. I tried to fight them… only to lose them. This was 3 years ago. It has been a very long fight through the court system.. however.. I am able to finally have visits with my kids to get reaquainted with them… In May.. I am able to finally go for custody of my kids… My kids are so excited to be able to move home with me… However… I have no place to call home.. Right now.. I am unable to work due to back problems… i live with my mother in a 2 bedroom apartment in which my parents have one room and my little brother has the other one… There is no room what so ever for myself and my 3 kids.. So my wish is that someone could help me get a house that my kids and I could call ours… call home…. That is the only wish and dream that I have… not only for myself but for my children… I thankyou for taking the time to read my wish and helping any way that you can. God bless you. tammy
