My partner and I received an eviction notice because a church rental assistance program screwed us the fuck over.
On the 1st of June, I went baby to work after my maternity leave. Because of that, my partner was the only one able to contribute to rent at the beginning of this month as my first back-to-work paycheck isn’t until the 15th of this month. We paid $475 on our $947 rent (that’s with the utilities combined except electricity) and went to a rental assistance program through a church in North Dallas.
As soon as I arrived, I stood in line at the window while one of the church employees showed another employee pictures on his phone of fat wheelchair users while saying, “Isn’t it disgusting? And they still get food stamps.” So, obviously these people weren’t wildly concerned with the care of those coming to them for help.
I did the aid interview and they confirmed that they would pay the remainder of the rent and we need merely wait for them to send the check to our apartment complex. Then yesterday, a week after they confirmed their assistance, I get a call from the director of the program. She says she has decided they won’t help us because “You weren’t honest with us about your ~partner~”, in as much of a disgusted, demeaning voice as I’ve heard.
This was patently false; she even stated the interviewer had wrote down that my partner paid half the rent this month. However, she repeated again that “You weren’t honest about your *partner* (with disgusted emphasis on this word each time she said it) so we won’t help you anymore”. Click, and suddenly we don’t have rent and we’ve got an eviction notice.
We’re on the waiting list for another rental assistance place to call us back and see on eligibility but even if we are eligible, it won’t be in time to avoid the eviction process beginning. We’re selling plasma every opportunity available to us but we can only do that twice in a 7 day sitting. If you’re willing to help us out, we’d appreciate it.

For more than two years, Clarise Coleman faithfully attended every track practice and every cross-country meet for her son, Chase.
A few weeks ago, Chase, who is a nearly nonverbal autistic child, was running in a meet in Rochester, New York, with his team from Corcoran High School – was assaulted by a stranger in the middle of a race.
Coleman was waiting for him at a part of the course where runners would come down a hill but he didn’t appear and she went looking for him. She was shouting his name and then she started to meet people who pointed in the direction of her son. One of them said:
“I see a grown man, who is quite tall and fairly heavy … exit the vehicle and give this young man a shove that puts him back 10 feet and flat on his butt. Like, just shoved him across the road. The kid didn’t seem to be doing anything but standing there, obviously had nothing in his hands and weighed all of 130 pounds. This guy was easily twice that.”
This tall white guy was a 57-year-old man named Martin MacDonald who told the police that the reason he attacked the Black kid was he thought Chase was going to mug his wife and take her purse.
“My son is a minor. [MacDonald is] a grown man,” Coleman said she told police. “He put his hands on my son. Of course I want to press charges.”
However the police was deaf and on Oct. 21, Rochester City Court Judge Caroline Morrison sent a letter to the Colemans that shocked them:
She had denied their warrant application, and MacDonald would not be charged for second-degree harassment.
Now the autistic Black boy refused to go to practices and skipped running in his last meet of the season. He turned his running uniform in to his coach, who gently encouraged him to change his mind. Chase refused.
“We just keep telling him, ‘You didn’t do anything wrong. Chase is good. There are mean people and there are nice people and this person was just a mean person,’ ” Coleman said. “We just keep apologizing to him that happened. Especially me. I kept apologizing to him that I couldn’t keep him safe.”
The attack deeply traumatized him and he lost one of the few things that gave him a sense of pride and belonging.
Please, make a shout out to this outrageous accident! The white man still didn’t receive any punishment for ruining life of the Black boy. THIS IS HELL!
