There's been a ton of controversy over MY winnebego, it is still sitting in my daughter's driveway of her "old" house. She paid an extra months rent, just to give me more time because of what I'm going through, or I would have had it towed here a couple of months ago.
One person there, who sits on A.J.E. and "can't work" but has rebuilt and owns 2 houses, has cars all over both lots, has an engine hoist and just bought a brand new car!!! wants the winnebego for $100 - he apparently already planned on cutting down the winnebego for a flat bed and had gone into the winnebego and checked out the motor without my or my daughter's permission - he had plans on selling it.
Of course I said "no - take a hike" His son did something illegal where the winnebego is concerned and bragged about what he did to some young gals - who in return told their parents, who called the Police, so the son was charged and to this day, his dad blames me!! - cuz the winnebego and cats "shoulda never been ther in the first place" - that's all I'l say about that incident!
Now I said that I had the winnebego shell sold - well not quite, there is a sweet ol' gent who has been a ton of help with building the cages, built me one of my main traps, loan of his dolly, tools, time and efforts, lending a hand whenever he can with whatever he can, so in repayment - I gave him the Winnebego shell and we signed papers that the motor or other mechanics is not included, with exception to what makes the wheels turn (so he can move it). The ol boy's yard is quite the mess, so he promised me he'd use it to store his stuff and clean up so no one can pick on him. Everyone in the village goes to him when they need something but if he doesn't have what they need, they point at his mess. So, what better person to give it to right?
Well, when the guy who wanted the winnebego and already had all these plans with it, found out that I "gave" the winnebego to the ol' gent in payment of everything he has done for me, he squeeled over there in his son's truck - DROVE RIGHT UP ON THE SIDEWALK Yahoo Style, as if he was going to drive right through the ol boys front door - and yelled and yelled at him that he was an f'n idiot to take the winnebego especially without the motor and now how was he going to get the motor, he already has it sold (I did refuse to sell it to him, so how he has it sold already is beyond me!) and called the ol' boy every name under the sun!!!
And while it's none of this guys business or anyone elses affairs concerning my personal property, why this even happened, well, I'll leave that up to you!
While this scene was going on, one of the Village's Counsel Members, who lives 2 doors away, went over to the ol boys and told him that if he took the winnebego, he'd call the Health Inspector on him!!! Why cuz he was going to clean up his yard and use the winnebego as storage - it's on wheels so he doesn't need a permit and he doesn't need a cement pad, so why call the Health Inspector? Besides, they tried that already a couple of years ago when all this started - to deter him from helping me, but the house is in his name - so nothing could be done or they woulda thrown him out of town as well.
This counsel member use to be Mayor (that I wrote the Privacy Act Commissioner about) and played a huge part in getting my daughter out of her 3 YEAR Village Employment to go work for the county and she was fired within 3 days - so she wouldn't have any income and have to move - (but we hung in anyway, no one has a right to conive, conspire or do us wrong for no reason!!)
So now, the ol boy is TOOO SCARED to take the Winnebego!
PLUS, the mechanic who was going to look at it for me has been told to stay away, was also YELLED at for helping my daughter move and for helping me - he was seen with me atthe winnebego and "people" wanted to know what he was doing there with me - as if it's their right or business.
He lives in the GARAGE, of my old house! MY old house!!!!
For helping my daughter move, she gave him 2 4x4 Jimmys she had planned on making into one, so everyone knows that those vehicules use to be hers and "people" wanted to know how he managed to get them (cuz they wanted them) and when he innocently replied that he lent her a hand and that's how she thanked him, well, it caused yet another stink! He was told that if he continues to help us, the same thing will happen to him and he'll lose the garage over his head and his place of work!!!
Why is this happening?
People have said to me: "Well if you're a non profit -
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SPONSOR or SPONSORS?
Now c'mon, let's get the business thinking caps on for a sec.
I've written letters to companies - sent along some pictures so they knew I'm not exagerating - I DO NOT tell them the crap story of everything that's happened, I stick to the reality of why I need funding - medical and other.
I center on the one village (and less on the other 4 villages and town in the county) but I do use the one as an example and mention that much the same goes on in the other 4 villages and the town. (and I want to mention that there are others out there doing what they can to help, but when they saw what happened to me, well they too got scared and hide what they do so no one hurts them!!! It's PATHETIC!)
I got a response from one company, who "sympathized" with me, but felt that in an area that refused to be more responsible - they could not foresee spending thousands and thousands of dollars - for the same thing to happen over and over again, with no success stories or new levels of education on behalf of the residents!!!!!
Who wants to spend thousands of dollars on abuse that is carried on and on and on - at someone else's expense!???
And while I understand how corporations feel, that still has left me doing it by myself.
I unfortunately WANT out of here - and I've cried because what will become of the helpless and of those who have helped me!
I cry because I am so worried about the ones in my care, I didn't save them to kill them!!!!! I cry because these "people" have ripped apart everything in my life that I LOVE!
My home, my family, my critters we moved here with and the critters I've saved!!! My art, my trades, my whole life! Why has this been allowed to happen?!
I also received a sarcastic email from a Vet Tech who's clinic serviced me for almost 5 years! Her in laws live in that damn village! My response was not so friendly and to think I spoke highly of their services. She was utterly insulted over my petition at:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Spay_Neuter_Canada/ that some of you have been kind enough to take the time and sign.... and my © TatttooFind Listing at
Find Animals Alone - it hasn't been worked on in a long time, too many other pressing things, but it was a means of trying to bring awareness to Spaying and Neutering as well as raising funds for the shelter. A ONE time fee of $10 - included pet tattoo, bodily description and contact # - an additional $5 for a thumbnail that clicked into a larger picture - for as long as the pet lived - so if a pet lived 10 years, it boiled down to $1.50 a year and for this I was reemed out.
People, I don't know about you, but I do have a personal life, well sorta (lol) and none of this shit ever should have happened! None of it, there's no reason for ANYONE to be mad at me with exception to their own hatred - I didn't bring hate into their lives - but I did work hard at helping "my" community.
I can't believe that I just might be homeless in 17 days and have absolutely no help from anywhere.
The Motel I was chasing has fallen through becuz interest rates have gone up and now my lender won't lend the money!!! OMG!!!
AND I finally got a letter back from the MLA, who I have a hunch played a role in having the laws change so that I lost my houses - no proof - however, he apparently spoke to the Honorable so and so AND the Honorable so and so ( he mentioned 4 honorables) and that I "might" be eligible for 2 possible venues for funding... I ASKED that he assist me in relocating in this county - with so many empty farm houses - because - since 1974, he has sat on every single Board you can possibly imagine and knows everyone. I responded that I am eligible for over 150 grants/subsidies and fundings - all I needed to do was relocate and be STABLE so I could apply and sent him an invoice for $5 a day, for 5 days a week (farmhands get $12-$14 an hour) dating back to 2003 and YES, he is a farmer and some of his family members were involved in an incident that took the life of my 14 yr old cat....
No more savings, my 2 houses "stolen" from me through trickery, my family devestated - I need a hand.
I wrote someone in media who is interested in my encounters and seeing my paperwork, but with 17 days left and everything in boxes, what is to become of me and the critters?
To those who HATE - they are in their glory - victory is not yet theirs, I'm praying that someone will come forward and lend a hand.
An investor in the Motel would be nice, it does make $18,000 a month - no bar, no restaurant! IT someting I can defnately manage and take care of my crew in a house I set up for us nearby...
Who knows? I believe in miracles, I've made it this far in spite of the odds.
