I'm writing to you for the world to KNOW our plight first off
i'm 51 yrs old with emotional disabilities and PAD i use a motorized scooter,walker and walking stick...I'm a single parent
of a 19 yr old son with asperger's syndrome,ADHD and ODD we are currently homeless in a rat infested and bedbug Motel called the Dartmouth Motor Inn in North Darthmouth,MA. costing us $800.00
for one room with a fridge and stove/oven with broken oven door
which we cannot use and TV that every channel is nothing but snow and a broken sink drain that drains into a waste basket under the sink
and when I asked them to fix these 2 things they said they would fix them and my rent would go to $1000.00 in July of this year 2009 well they are still not fixed !!! Now if i call the board of health my son and I will be throan out and we will be on the streets HOMELESS !!! Well just so the world knows we come from a single family home in rural country town in Westport/Acushnet MA our home of 20 years to the day was sold out from under us
which we paid our rent for every month for those years and have a letter stating we did by the landlord !!! so we were forced into the city BIG MISTAKE !!! It was a living Nightmare my son almost got hit by car/truck 3-4 times good thing i got quick hands !!! Then the apartment was infested with bedbugs just like this dump we are in and there was co-mingling of eletric & gas
the hallway lights were on my bill and they left them buring all night and there was a illeagle apartment in the cellar and the gas was hooked into my gas !!! Now servral different agencies
called city officals and I did all of us calling these places 3 times to no avail on my circuit breaker box there was 5 switches
only 2 were used they had 5 rooms on one switch and bathroom/pantry were on second switch so what was the other 3 switches hooked to BIG FIRE HAZZARD waiting to happen !!!
Nownothing was ever done on our behalf and when i got permission
for washer and dryer to be givin to us they would not let us put it on the hookups in cellar because thats where illeagle apartment was so they said NO but could have them in our apartment but when they were asked to put in the hookups in my place they said NO and when one of the agencies was gonna pay for the hookups in my place the next day i went to get the mail
and thier was a for sale sign on the house and a letter to leave the place in 30 days in my mailbox with us both coming from single family home i didnot know anything about putting money in a escroll acount so the landlord said the place was not thiers anymore so I was falling behind on bills and on SSI/SSDI you can only have a certain amount of money in the bank so i put the rent money for two months to the bills i was falling behind on
so they brought us to housing court where we were forced to pay the present months rent and be out by the end of the month HOW COULD WE after paying the rent and bills there was NO MONEY for MOVERS !!! I DON'T DRIVE and can't afford a car !!! I lost a 20 yr authopedic mattress and a 1000 dollar firdge/freezer with filtered water and ice maker only 4 years old never even been hooked up to water plus a ton of sentimental things and were still evicted anyways !!! we lost alot of priceless things in that apartment !!! Now that tells you how we become to this Dartmouth Motor Inn aka (Motel Hell)
Now we have a US government section 8 housing choice voucher in which we have used one extention already and need to find a SAFE
HOME in a RURAL TOWN to live in BEFORE IT EXPIRES on JULY 16th 2009 PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY HELP US ? We have NO CAR to go to find a HOME !!! Yours Truly Fred & Justin Wilson
