When we got back from the park there was a note under the door.
We have exceeded the number of days allowed to stay at the family shelter. We must leave by noon, Thursday, the 15th.
To say we're having anxiety over this is an understatement.
We have an appointment to view an apartment tomorrow morning.
Please, cross all of your fingers and toes for us. If we end up back in our camper, we will be right back to where we were with CPS hot on our tails.
I can't believe a shelter is kicking out a family in the dead of winter. No way this would happen in Canada, even when shelter gets full here they shuttle the overflow to other shelters. They wouldn't do this to a single intoxicated man in Canada never mind a family. Here is my upvote good luck

Seems like the system is somehow working, from what I can understand ...

I SO hope that the apartment accepts you as renters. What CPS has done to you is horrendous, and of course it is incredibly stressful.
If you lived locally, I would open up my home for your family myself.
Praying that this situation resolves quickly.

Have you spoken to someone about the letter? many places will treat human beings as just case file numbers until forced to humanize the situation, when they have a face (or faces) before them that illusion can be broken and we find the empathy compassion and understanding that person has, its not always as we think though. Requested an extension with the promise of looking for an apartment, just to make sure you are not without during the transition.
I would suggest you also put the request in writing to create a paper trail that can be looked back on if need be. If you need assistance formulating a strongly worded letter let me know im somewhat of a wordsmith when i need to be and am happy to help out where i can.

Arrgh!!! This is again why the System is so awfully terrible. How long would it take CPS to find out you were back in the camper? Would you have a few weeks to continue looking at apartments, do you think?
Another way to help these posts get more followers (besides everyone here resteeming!) and upvotes/SBD would be to make sure your tags get your posts the most exposure you can. I wish I could do this for you! The tags actually place your posts into like topics, so if you use your own tags your posts will be the only ones there. Tagging your post "Family Protection", for instance, would group your posts with theirs.

Thank you. We have a ride to the apartment viewing tomorrow. We are also getting hooked up with a family that wants to help with Hiro.
I just want it to go smoothly. The dog safe and a roof over everyone's heads.

The interview for the apartment is great news! A place to call home is much needed. I pray and hope it all goes perfectly and you and your girls can be stable again. I look forward and await impatiently to see what comes of it. Good Luck! Ask the universe to help you and make this work :) xx

Seeing everything working out great for you and the family from here onwards! Seeing you in a safe environment, warm were you want to be and the dogs being loved and cared for. Most of all seeing the cps staying out of your lives and you continuing to succeed here on Steemit and being a voice of inspiration and empowerment for others as well. Here's to you! 👍

I understood it so from your other post that the case with the child protection agency was closed, and that you in practice chose to stay in the camping van even if the child protection agency wanted you to choose the shelter for homeless - so what is actually your status at the moment?

The CPS case closed after we came to the shelter. I seriously panicked when CPS came around and left the camper as quickly as possible.
Our dogs were still in the RV, since the shelter would not allow them.
If we go back to the RV CPS will again involve themselves.

I am sorry that my post did not make our location clear, @tobixen. We are in the family shelter. The RV is parked outside.

I am so sorry you are dealing with yet another stressful and scary situation. Prayers are being sent your way that you and your precious children will be accepted into that apartment. If you are declined I’m praying the Lord will lead and guide you to a place you will be accepted.
Keep your head up and don’t give up! Keep moving forward and know that you are not alone. You have many supporters following your story now. Though we are not right next to you we are here waiting, watching, praying and hoping with you~ ❤️

See if they'll take SBD for your first months rent! It's worth a shot...

The shelter will pay the first month and the security deposit! A friend will teach me how to convert the SBD so I can put it toward a couple month's worth of rent.

I just convert SBD to litecoin and use a Crypto ATM that turns Litecoin into cash, good luck.
