Foreclosure Horror Story: Woman, Daughter With Cerebral Palsy Evicted - LATimes

[Herbalicious]

29. Thank you!

I wonder the same thing when people make harsh comments. I've been there when the daughter is crying out. She cannot speak or communicate with words. She's half blind from knocking her head. She's crippled over in pain and cannot walk well (or much) because a tendon issue in her leg.

Her knees are swollen so large from walking around on her knees. It pains me just to see it. She cannot communicate when she's hungry, thirsty, soiled herself, uncomfortable, in pain, so she cries/wails out to communicate. It's very unpleasant and uncomfortable to witness. It breaks my heart.

Everyone wants to get away from her because it's so uncomfortable to experience but this family cannot just walk away from her. If they lose this home, they have no where else to go. She cannot get anyone to rent to her once they find out about the daughter. It's illegal to discriminate but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And other places don't have the ramps and accessibility that this home has. The Americans with disabilities Act is supposed to insure she has access everywhere but that doesn't mean she does.

We took her to city hall and the brother was going to remove the sister because she was crying but I told him to leave her there in front of all the council members, they have to experience what it's like for a 2 minute speech. They are lucky the daughter can leave after the mother speaks but the mother cannot leave her daughter. They deal with this 24 hours a day. She's been humiliated in public because of it. They used to live in an apartment when the daughter was little but they got grief because the baby was so fussy and loud.

They have to feed her and give her stuff to drink. They have to change her diapers. They have to escort her around. They have to tend to her 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

And I think her medical condition is very painful one. I suffer chronic pain so I feel for her in that regard. I think her muscles get overly tense and that's why she's twisted in pain so much and that makes her cry out too.

But she can hear, so when she comes up to me or cries out. I try to talk to her and call her by her name and just try reassure her because I know she can hear me.
