I was up all night tossing, turning, worrying and eventually that turned to chest pains and migraine in short order. Just before sunrise I became exhausted enough to fall asleep, but that meant that I didn't even start to wake up until well after 9 am.
Going into a 4th winter of homelessness has worn me down. I have become the invisible person, with invisible pain, invisible fear, invisible being. In fact - I am no longer a human being, and I am more than aware of that reality.
I promised myself that I would try to get out more, start trail riding, get out more and be with friends, become pro-active doing what I love to do instead of being solely focused on getting a home ~ but I seem not to be able to break away from this intense desire to get into a home and restore what was stolen.I put in a short work day today and this afternoon I tried to start cleaning my belongings that were caught in the constant flooding that comes through the foundation of this shed.
To say that it is a mess is a slight understatement. Maybe this is payback for always being house proud. I couldn't even stand a pillow out of place... today I am shoveling mud from around my bed. A losing battle with mold, mildew, damaged property, heart ache, heartbreak, anxiety, cold, damp and a very unsavory lifestyle.
And this cost us $140,000 to acquire?
My youngest daughter, hospitalized with MRSA, has now been diagnosed with Osteomyelitis.
I didn't know if I should start to scream, pull my hair out or throw myself on the mercy of God.. but I did all three. Please God, do these people not understand that there is enough adversity in life without deliberately, with premeditated malice, throw a woman into a homeless situation..
There has to be someone related to Robert & Sylve Huckins must have some means to reach them, if it be Michael Huckins, Dr.Kenneth Ogilvie ( Diana Huckins? Dominic Huckins? Malcolm Huckins? ) or Patricia Ogilvie-Huckins and get them to return ALL of the money they stole from us so that I can buy a home and get our lives back.
I don't believe I have EVER witnessed any none violent crime that can be as devastating as stealing someone's home. I am walking in Dorothy McKeevers footsteps, day by day, month by month, year by year.
Liam Griffin, I sat in your law office with two witnesses as you gave me your promise, your guarantee, that our money would be returned before harm came to us.
Patricia Ogilvie-Huckins you were present the day I signed contract with your son. You walked out of the kitchen with Sylvi Huckins and your son introduced me to you. He told you that I was the British horse trainer he had told you about, the one he was going to build the home and barn for. Why didn't you say something? There may be a rational and reasonable explanation but I have spent over 3 years, homeless, not understanding it. I understand it even less knowing that though I was a total stranger, both Dorothy McKeever and Sally Canning you KNEW.
Dr. Kenneth Ogilvie, I contacted you and simply asked for a reference, not knowing that Robert Huckins was your cousin. Robert Huckins had just stolen over $30,000 from the domestic violence shelter, HEAL, yet everyone was trying to hide it. There was a history of stealing large amounts of money. $65,000 PLUS from Nancy Canning. $89,000 PLUS from Dorothy McKeever. The list just goes on and on and on.
Today Robert Huckins has his own home...
He also has OUR home.....
He also has a lot of people's money...
And his freedom.
Women are not banks or loan institutions. Women should not be the source of a retirement fund for people who don't want to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Holding women hostage while playing with the judicial system, a horrendous game of cat and mouse extending YEARS, with the victims whose very homes, families and stability are in jeopardy is cruelty, as cruel as a physical beating. It is financial and emotional RAPE. Homelessness is not justice. It is a slow, painful death.
Please, I beg with everything I have within me, please convince Robert Huckins to stop this torture and return the building fund he stole from us so we too, can have a home.Respect for the fragility and importance of an individual life is still the mark of an educated man.~ Norman Cousins
This is the journey of a victim of felony fraud and embezzlement left homeless by builder, Robert M. Huckins who was given 27 years in jail,suspended,on the proviso he return $82,200, in $114 per week payments. Sometimes sad, sometimes pensive, sometimes with sarcastic humor, it chronicles the apathy within the New Mexico Judicial system and New Mexico State Government towards victims of white collar crime and the sheer audacity of the criminals who believe that the world owes them something.
