Changing the face of homelessness

"I'll be blogging about my experiences with homelessness. I have a combined ten years of living without housing as it's currently understood. However, my personal experience with homelessness began at birth. On this blog, I'm going to share my story and my life. My mission is to change at least one person's perspective on those of us who are homeless. Please read with an open heart and mind, and be patient as my story unfolds."

Me too My ass!

- March 12, 2025

When I was in grade school I usually would ride the school bus. This particular time that I rode the school bus I was in third grade. I was an 8 year old that was easily manipulated. hen I stepped off of the school bus one Friday afternoon, I was delivered straight into the hands of a sexual predator. My mom had left for southern Missouri with a man. I was greeted by a man named Bud Green. Others know him as Bud Leichti. I can confirm that he was from Wathena Kansas.He was 19 or 20 and I believe he was a distant third cousin. My mom had hired him to babysit her three kids for the weekend. He took complete advantage of me and had me in my mom's bedroom that same night. I was forced to perform oral sex, sodomy and other sex acts with him. This lasted the entire weekend.

Before October of 2024, I never missed paying for a month's rent or was even late paying rent. On Wednesday, April 16th, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. I am to appear in division 5 Court facing eviction. (See summons below.) My lived experience working with individuals who are in need of housing has taught me quite a bit. Before I get into the reason I feel so many of us end up experiencing homelessness, I would like to share some legal information about the eviction process. To legally evict someone in Missouri, a landlord must first provide written notice to the tenant, then file an eviction lawsuit with the court, and finally, obtain a court order (Writ of Possession) before a tenant can be forcibly removed from the property. 1. Proper Notice: Reason for Eviction: The notice must clearly state the reason for the eviction (e.g., non-payment of rent...

I'm coming back!!!

For the past eight years of my life – extremely long, painful, and miserable years – a huge part of me has been missing. An internal flame that once burned brighter than the sun has been fully extinguished. Already a severely damaged and extremely scared soul, I was about to experience a sadness that defies modern description. One of the most important parts of my life was ripped straight from my heart, and I believe it was done with malice and intent specifically targeted to damage me. Evil and darkness had certainly found their mark this time. My entire life had already been a constant battle that I was losing. Every day, I struggled with undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses. I had developed into a drug addict and had spent many years in the past as a terrible alcoholic. The only way I knew how to live was as a trauma victim. Abuse and neglect started when I was very young – some people familiar with me have said it began when I was a baby. My first memory is of being punished....
