Hi my name is Sheila and I am a 22 year old mother of three beautful children. Back in January of 2007 I had the unthinkable happen when my three children were taking from me. I was working on that day and got a call from their father saying he was not awake to take the kids off the school bus. I called the school and we worked it out on the phone and contiued with my work. When I got home my kid's father went right out to the store to get some things for the house. Moments later the Department of soccial services and the police were at my door.  As they enteried the house and looked around they found illegal substances in the class D catagory. Being as I just returned home from work I did not have the chance to go upstairs where I was told this product was found. But because it was in my home and I was the only adult, I had to take the charge for it and my children were removed. Also because of this I was evicted from my home. I started saving a couple weeks checks and my tax check to help me move so I can get my kids back. But because everyone loves me so much, every last pennie of almost 3000 dollars were stolling and I therefore was not able to move. Being evicted I had to leave my appartment and I explained my story to the management. I explained that I wanted my belongings but was unable to remove them so if they can put it into an eviction storage that I heard about from my lawer.  On March 11th I went to the apartment to get some more clothes. I still had until the 21st before the sharriff was to remove my things. However the management locked me out due to an ex-friend tell them that I was gonna destroy the unit and pure piss all over the place. (which of course wasn't true) So that's when I explained my story and told them I still wanted my belongings but was not able to move them. I then left  town and visited my sister two hours away so I would have a place to sleep. One March 16th I got a phone call from two friends saying the managment took all of my belongings and crushed them. All of my personal belongings and pictures and drawings that I can never get back. All gone. I then got a letter in the mail telling me of the court date the managment had telling the court my belongings were abandond. One this courtdate which was held after my locks were already changed, the managment recieved permission to change the locks and to destroy my belongings. I was then basicly scolded by the court for not being at the cout that day to defend myself although I was not informed of the courtdate untill after my belogings were destroyed. So now it's July and my children are still not with me and I'm still homeless. I have been looking everywhere for an affordable appartment but it is pretty impossible to find a subsidy complex or landlord that will exept someone who have been evicted and who is on probabtion for a class D substance. The only thing stoping me from getting my children back as said by the department of socail services is an apartment big enough to house them. (3 bed rooms) By Dec 2007 if I don't have my children back they will be adopted out. That means time is running out to find an apartment. But as I said it is hard. And as I've been homeless I've been having to hope from place to place hopeing for a place to sleep. Therefore it's been impossible to keep a job. I'm just praying that someone blesses me with an apartment with three bedrooms. Then I can get a job, pay my rent and have my children back before my children are adopted and I lose them for ever. Please whoever is reading this, help me and my children in anyway you can. It will be such a blessing to us. Thank you all for reading and God bless you.
