Hey Guys & Gals,

I don't know when nor if I'll ever be able to get online again after the next few days. So I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your support in both my art as well as my life. You've all been a great treasure to me over the years. There's just nothing I can say to truly express my love and gratitude for each and every one of you.

Why am I leaving? Well I have no choice. I'll not be deleting my account or anything like that. I just don't expect to have internet access for a very very very long time. There's just too much going on in my life right now and internet access is at the bottom of the list right now. We've been foreclosed on and our home already auctioned off. It was completely out of our hands. If any of you have had to deal with Vanderbilt Mortgage then chances are that you have had to deal with their lieing, cheating and thievery. And you may have a better understanding of what we've had to deal with for the past 10 years. In short, my family has been paying between $700 and $1200 a month without fail for ten years for our home. I'll let you do the math. On top of that they have screwed us over on our deal with FEMA from Hurrican Floyd in 2002. The deal was that if we continued to pay our mortgage and stayed on the property and in the trailer for 10 years then we would not have to pay back the $58,000 we would still owe at the 10 year point. And we would officially own the land and trailer. This June 7th would have made it ten years. But Vanderbilt Mortgage has been using loopholes, lies and other forms of criminal actions to cheat us out of that deal and take all of the money for them-selves. We've turned to a public attorney for help but after a year, that attorney has stopped helping simply because she knows we can not afford her. We are now back at square one. Charges have been brought up on Vanderbilt Mortgage but they have been able to get out of each of thes charges due to loop holes. I'm calling Vanderbilt Mortgage out in this journal because EVERYONE that deals with them NEEDS TO KNOW what to expect. My family is in no way the only people that have been screwed over by Vanderbilt Mortgage. Here are only a few links of MANY from others that have had problems with them as well:

I ask for all of your prayers as we go through this time of hardship. We have a total of $150, no income and no place to move to. We may end up living in a storage unit. That is if we can presrade the storage unit owner to let us. There's 5 of us total. My parents, my sister, her 5 year old girl, and myself. There is no one in our family that have the space to take us in let alone support us as we try and get on our feet. Please, just pray for us. And if you know of any homes in our area (rent or own) that's $400 or so a month, PLEASE let me know here. We don't care if the floor is missing in the place. We just need some place to move to and we can make fixes as time goes by. We live in Greenville, NC and more then willing to move as far as Chocowinity, NC if we must. Any further and finances would not allow it. We sill need to move much our stuff after all.

God Bless you all and I pray I get to speak to you all soon.
