  1. I’m really well, found a vet who built this unbelievably nice home and appreciated the guaranteed sec8 payments. Appreciate your service too. But when are people going to start appreciating the life time service of the homemakers mothers wives and artist that spend our lives describing the beauty of where we live? Just saying and wondering why don’t I deserve that too? My SS retirement is only $500 bucks of course I became homeless. Judith

  2. Ty for your kind words, I hope someone in Washington see us scared and suffering. Slow and easy does it. ❤But really I think our dream is over and me too not afraid of death, it’s got to be an upgrade, truly Judith

  3. Ty for your interest and kind words, the most upsetting thing to me as I went through this was that my sister who owns a 3 br home on PI refused to take me in for the winter while I continued my search. She is so ashamed of herself she can’t even come to see my beautiful new place. Telling my family “she will probably not hold on to it”. I am so grateful for knowing better.

  4.  @jennywinter3025  yup 10 yrs old and 200 thousand mls. and I had an angle for a mechanic who will always be remember and and I know how to restore, clean and keep things nice Thank goodness you can actually put a double bed in the back 😂 I needed it. Judith

  5.  @bloomjoy AND bloom that was what I got. Families are repulsed and have to my face said that “this is of your own making” and so not deserving of help. “You are embarrassing us and owe us an apology.” Sadly my love for my family has been irretrievably damaged. I found out a lot I wished I never knew about how they feel think and what they say about me. Heartbreaking. My sister lives in a beautiful 3br house on the beach by herself now her husband has past, and she was horrified because I asked if I could stay for the coming winter while I continued my search. She did give me money to help me though and that of course really did help. Generally I came to understand that people give what they can, do what they can, just as long as their not even the slightest bet inconvenienced. My son has never care for me, why I have given up trying to figure why. Can’t seem to allow me to be just who I am. Didn’t learn that from me, who knows, he doesn’t say. My daughter and son in law are wonderful people who told me that “their home was mine???” Two rooms they have and slept on their living room floor w/me in their bed. Until I couldn’t stand it anymore. PLUS in eight grade I read Emerson’s essay on “Self-reliance” and shape my life accordingly. “ a yankee spirit living and loving NewEngland. So it was my choice … somewhat. AND f-you Trump and Biden and all of the destroyers of our dreams. And for not having enough vision to jump on the solution when it came along last election, we had chance to end poverty in our country and the world with UBI. 2 dimensional Fools! Maybe someday humanity will grow up. Maybe not. Judith

  7. Yes autumn, I thought that too. TG i could lock the car door at night, also found beautiful deserted fields and woods to sneak into to park so no one saw me. Safer with the deer and squirrels at night. But love my beautiful new place. Best to you TY Judith

  10. Ty Jackie, so many kind folks feeling for me and saying wonderful supportive things. I am very happy in this wonderfully new home. And my new landlords are just as wonderful. So alls well that….for me anyway. Hope my story will help other ladies facing this type of hardship with courage and resolve knowing that you do come through. Suggestion if I may, help someone you see living in the trees in a cemetery. We really have no idea what happened to them that brought them to this. give someone a chance to move through and on … xxoo sisters in life. Judith

  12. The hardest part for me was having my family reveal themselves in such a cold shellfish manner. My loving nostalgic memories and feelings blew away on the cold night winds… how sad. But.. I’ve always known that I just knew more than them, just didn’t know how much more. My sister has a 3br house all to herself… I feel blindsided that she didn’t want me. Judith

  18. Troy that was so right, I looked and looked for an old salt box in the woods to buy and work on for my aging years but I was totally over whelmed in the housing market. The Housing court doesn’t even listen to the pleas and begging of mothers w/kids, and seniors like myself who pay their rent. Nothing matters they throw you out or whatever the landlord wants. It was nauseating! Where is our FDR . TY I’m so happy were I am now, Judith

  19. What a nice response and observation, hope i did some good for all of us opening myself up like that.. TY hope you stay well. Judith

  20. Thank goodness gk… I had a place to stay safe and dry comfortably. My 10yr volvo and an angel mechanic saved me from that atleast.

  21. Thank you for your kind words, I am so happy to have found two wonderful landlords, night and day from where I came, not to mention the best rental I’ve ever had. Best of luck to you 2, Judith

  22. TY Susan, I am resting and organizing and enjoying this amazing place I’ve landed. But I learned so much about how un-love I am by my family and sister in particular, I’m not sure I have time to heal from that kind of abuse. I am grateful I know better myself and hope… sorry… hope her house burns down and she finds herself needing some support for a minute or two… Judith

  23. Thank you Tracy, I am so happy here Hope I helped others by opening myself up like that judith

  24. Everyone has been asking how could her family let this go on? Good question, I could not believe how they truly thought of me. they had me convinced I deserved it for one thing or other. “ I brought it on myself,” one niece said to my face…me. How did I do that? Being without a husband ok maybe, spending all my time raising a family? Working 2 and 3 job at once. ???Thank goodness I know better, that’s what I say. My sister has a 3br home and lives there alone. I can not imagine how she lives with herself? BUT my beautiful daughter and s-i-l totally tried to take me in, In to their two room apt. And I spelt in the bed with them on the floor and couch for a little while … I couldn’t do that either so… Ty Claudia for your comments and caring. I am so happy and comfortable now. Slow and easy does it most situations. Judith Who knows really.

  25. Thank you for your advise, I am talking to GBH news channel now requesting a share in the profits. I will probably have to file in court now because no one ever offered me a share in any income for my story. No one even told me they were putting my story in a video that was going to be shown on TV. To old now to be on guard all the time protecting myself from this type of abuse. Judith❤

  26. Yes Alice that’s the attitude❤ it’s how you choose to look at things makes the difference. I met an old American lady living in Mexico years ago and she inspired me to pick which window I want to look out of … what would you rather be looking at, the good view or the sad one? A kindred spirit, thank you. Judith

  27. Yes when you see someone asking for help give some, you don’t know what has brought them to that place, and you don’t need to… just give whatever you can, it helps. TY Judith

  30. And some tenants rights in place, I couldn’t believe it was legal to evict a senior who pays her rent and makes a nice home like I do. The Courts here don’t care. And woman children old folks, disabled…. EASY TARGETS for our blinded by greed creepy politicians GO AMERICA

  32. My son’s wife is Asian and rich… she doesn’t even speak to me and I can’t understand why I welcomed her to our family with opened arms. Wish I understood. Really dear just some of us know more and better. And some of us are still learning. TY for your thoughts, I love my new place and so grateful for the people who have provided me with it… life goes on. Judith

  35. thank you dear, my social security after working my whole life is $500 per month a joke, didn’t even keep gas in my 10yo Volvo everyone seems so interested in during this past year. Wait list here for senior housing are 5-7 years long. But really I didn’t want to be “housed” to sit in a chair staring out a window. I wanted my own place a home my grandchildren would come to and remember their Grammy. But my son was no where to be found and I don’ t even get to know them so, why ? Go figure … I embarrassed them my family. And they didn’t help me saying “ it was of my own making” and maybe that’s true I always thought I did my job well, didn’t plan on having to be successful at my husband’s part too. … Some poor folks just aren’t grown up enough to know better. I wish they understood that they opted for the same cold treatment from their children teaching them that careless behavior. Judith

  38. thank you Ruby, I was a good mum too… go figure why my rich son doesn’t care? My daughter and son in law make plenty of $ and have nothing either. It’s our government stealing our prosperity and mis using us all. We don’t seem to be able to do anything about it, Judith

  39. TY lids, I have found a home it’s true, but my relationship with my sister will never be the same. Why? Truly I would never let… she would be so welcomed if the tide turned. I know now that it was probably some childhood nostalgia thing but I always thought we would live together after our kids were grown and husbands gone. But her in her 3 br house alone, turned me away. I don’t know how she lives with herself. So grateful I know better. Our love died because of my hardship. Judith

  40. Yes Lynn Judd , Sadly my relationship with my family my sister my niece my son …will never be the same. I had no idea that they were such unkind, ignorant people. Who knew? I choose to be around people who know better how to behave lovingly. thanks for your comment, Judith

  41. i so hope my exposing myself and situation will help other women facing this trail. It’s attitude entirely! I know who I am and I like myself, know i do and did the best i could always choose the light… and other’s opinions are reflection of themselves not you. My practical advise is stay covert, find a place no one else goes. And don’t share alot with others. The people who could help the most don’t. And who would want help from them anyway. Others who want to help just mostly cause you embarrassment, sorry but true. Believe in yourself, be creative, do your research and most of all stay self-reliant. TY for you comment, Judith

  43. From Judith/ thank you dear, very kind. Yes I’m still working on my new lovely place to make it feel like home, but know in America as it has devolved to, I will never be safe again. Rental homes don’t belong to you anymore, not even if you pay. And sadly and probably not like your mum, I agree with this comment above. Wish I could shoot the bastard that took my little retirement home from me and in the same sense “an eye for an eye “ burn his f-ing house to the ground as well. Take his home from him. So not 100% enlightened yet hay?

  44. YUP you nailed, and me too did all of that on my own as well. My son could care less why truly, and my relatives told me “it was of my own making “and didn’t deserve their help. I had no idea they were so ignorant and un-evolved . They never would have been turned away from my door. So I learned a lot about whom I want in my new most beautiful world, and not many made the cut. Judith TY for your comment

  45. thank you dear and I’m just making myself a pot of tea in my new home … with this amazing view of the river … with a yard too!!! Pye is so happy. So many wonderful folks wishing us well, it’s breath taking. Xxoo Judith

  46. It’s a way for unethical landlords to get away with evicting folks legally. WHO COMES UP WITH THIS CRAP? In my case the creepy landlord didn’t like my multiracial family coming for Sunday dinner and holidays. Even seniors who btw I thought it was illegal to evict a senior especially who pays their rent. Creep! so glad i found these new wonderful people to do business with. TY for your ? I’ll get him…

  49. I got my 10 yr old Volvo for a song because of the high mileage. Thank god cause you could put a double bed in the back I swear no problem. Market Basket RIPPED ME OFF FOR MY $8000. PROFIT SHARE they said it wasn’t “vested” after all the money I made for them, the Bastards! Judith

  50. That has been the most posted ? My son and his fancy attorney wife live in Dallas and could care less about me. Who knows why truly. I always liked and loved him? He had everything, just not a Dad. ???? My daughter and son in law did take me in but it broke my heart to see them sleeping on the floor in the living room of their two room apartment with me in their bed so I left there but they continued to help me all through. ❤they are so upset that they couldn’t do more. And I am pretty hardy self reliant type of person so I thought I could manage. Barely did but now Pye and I have our lovely new place. O and even though my sister was giving me money sometimes I was not welcomed into her 3br home even temporarily as winter approached and I continued my search. That has broken my heart and our love will never be the same. So why so repulsive to those who could help? Lots of folks keep saying it was my fault, that I didn’t try hard enough… but try what. Make my husband not die? Make a man’s income while I raised two kids and paid for everything with 2 and 3 part time jobs? People just don’t know enough or better. How to behave lovingly. How could I have done any better? And btw the museum of fine arts in Boston shows my work which I was also making throughout. I think this is a really good example of how we come here into this World to learn how to become human beings. Xxoo TY for caring dear. Judith

  53. I really wish someone would explain this to me too. Don’t vets get pay checks or pensions like for their service. Sec8 vets are top priority what is going on there? You don’t get paid for being a wife, a mother, a homemaker… an artist. Truly seems to me male or female we all deserve to have homes and incomes for our service. Thank you dear for saying… Judith

  54. Yup so true, i grew and learned so much, understood , and was delivered to these wonderful people and this amazing home. Truly hope exposing my story in this fashion/video was for the greater good and oboy the response has been over whelming. I know our government isn’t going to do anything. greed is rampaging at such a speed, no stopping it… but then I can’t see the Plan from Divine perspective. You never know O and still wish I could … welcome change, I love being feline-like in my home. Pye kitty is a bad influence. He was so cute in his cameo ❤ TY for witnessing my state of being

  56. No fault eviction allow landlords to get away with behaving illegally, they don’t even have to say why they want you out. In my case, my Ethiopian s-i-l offended him probably. Who didn’t even live with me…, or maybe it was my Free Julian Assange bumper stick… could have been anything. O and btw thank you for always paying your rent and taking such nice care of you flower beds… GOOD RIDDANCE the pig! I’d rather live in my car. Judith

  59. 😂SO TRUE HAHAHA But really dear the car is 10 years old w/ really high mileage I just know how to clean and like taking care for my things. And Panera lots of folks don’t know is really homeless friendly. And their bathrooms are reliable, and they have a coffee club for 10 bucks a month so when you need to go out every morning for coffee it’s just about free really … and bottomless. I could return during the morning for a free refill . Things you learn out or necessity you wouldn’t know ordinarily. ALL NON-PAYING POOR CHOICES YOU ARE RIGHT; MOTHERHOOD, HOME MAKING, KEEPING EVERYONE FEED AND HEALTHY… AND ON SCHEDULE, THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS BOSTON, BEING FEMALE… no one ever offered me a pension or 401k OR AND THE BEST POOR CHOICE HAVING A HUSBAND THAT LEFT ME FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT. Thank goodness I know who I am, I truly hope you get there too. Xxoo Judith

  61. So right, but not our culture here. We are forced to stay independent of each other believing that will keep our individuality and specialness … we have a lot to learn but also no time left to learn it now. Our American experiment is over our dream over. Rampaging unstoppable toward totally being dominated by greed and destruction. Wasn’t it the Nazi s that separated children from the families last? I don’t believe we will get away with that type of behavior. the signs are all around us now

  65. Community Teamwork Inc. Lowell MA. the reporter doing the story found them and hooked me up. They seemed to have the listings before they hit the websites and I was the first person that made contact. truly a miracle synchronicity went from the worst landlord to the best. No Fault evictions are a way for unethical landlord to get away with illegal behavior. He never even had to say why never waited a day for his rent in 6 years and I make a beautiful clean home. He hated woman generally and I am well rid of Steven Baker of Abel realty in Lawerence Ma. My best guess is that I have a multiracial family, they live with me but often come for Sunday dinner etc. Thank you for asking. I am so happy in my beautiful new place. Judith

  69. Section 8 slides up and down according to the area you live in… so if i were to go somewhere more affordable I would be entitled to a lesser amount. And it is the same challenges there. But ty for wanting to help. believe me I did my research and really stayed open to a better way and place. But in the end … this place is home to me. Judith

  71. I have an angel mechanic and got a credit Union to give me a loan. $$$$all about the money here if they think they can get some out of you here they do. But truly, it looks so good cause I know how to clean things up and cared for it. And had plenty of time on my hands. And it’s 10yso and had such high mileage it was cheap. Judith

  72. Thank you yes it was, and oboy you know I was told throughout what was happening, it’s not quite over yet either.I have to finish with this unethical landlord, I wanted to move on but was led not to, so I’m listening. Exposing my story was, now I understand, to help others being forced from their homes by greed have courage and know nothing last for ever. And it’s usually for the better. It certainly was in my case.
