I have simply run out of steam. The determination I had when I arrived in Missouri is difficult to maintain in this economic instability. I knew that trying to get back what was stolen wasn't going to be easy. I had no illusions about the rough row to hoe I had in front of me.

I often joke that I tried to pretend I was in my 20's when attempt the impossible was a challenge, it became a challenge to recover the stolen money and regain financial stability even if I had to travel to a state to gain a lower cost of living. But I brought age and illness with me - you take yourself with you wherever you go. The economy has become my impossible and I am becoming very scared trying to find a way to survive this without a permanent affordable home.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the judge in the 12th District is not going to enjoy hearing what I have to say in court in August, but how can THEY understand? Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
By noon I kept hearing thunder in the distance, and a cool breeze lowered the scorching temperatures everyone has suffered through in the last week or so. Yet by 2 pm the sun and high temperatures returned.
I started at 5 am putting job applications in, while marketing the two businesses on social media. Something has to break lose, but I am physically ill worried that it isn't going to do so - and I will face further hell on earth. By 4.30 pm a call came saying that I had a job interview and I gave a huge sigh of relief. Hope, even the smallest hope, is always welcome.
Tomorrow is my mothers birthday. And still she has no home to come to. Had Patricia Ogilvie-Huckins had HER home stolen by a career criminal all hell would have broken lose. But to watch other women her age lose their homes, to support a man who would rather steal than work, isn't even worth considerations.
It isn't what you know. It's WHO you know that makes justice blind.
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 Sylve 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, and you knew what your son had done to them and others.
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, $45,000 from Francis McKinney. The list just goes on and on and on.
Because of Robert Huckins I ended up paying $140,000 to be homeless.. sat in the cold, emotionally, physically and financially broke. In the middle of a recession, with no way to recover the stolen funds.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.

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
