We are a homeless and disabled family trying to raise funds for motel rent, groceries, pet supplies, and storage fees. We have until Friday to raise rent. Please repost and donate if you can. Anything helps, folks. We are desperate. We were featured in USA Today linked below w/ donation options.

Voucher program is supposed to help poor families rent a home. Nearly half the time, it fails.

Nearly half of people who receive federal housing vouchers are unable to use them. "It's a dire situation," one researcher said.

People have no idea how hard it is to be a complex chronic illness patient.

They always think they will be the exception.

That we aren’t trying hard enough.

That help exists but we don’t want it.

There is no help.

Many of these conditions have no cure & few treatments. 🧵

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni turns over his emails to Congress! Here's one showing how the admin tried to paint Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a "a leader of MS-13," which was shot down since it was clearly made up.

Reuveni says he was fired for telling the truth to a judge.

From: @ice.dhs.gov> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2025 11:15 AM To: Reuveni, Erez R. (CIV) <Erez.R.Reuveni@usdoj.gov>; @state.gov>; @ice.dhs.gov>; PERCIVAL, JAMES <JAMES.PERCIVAL@hq.dhs.gov> Cc: @usdoj.gov>; Mazzara, Joseph <Joseph.Mazzara@hq.dhs.gov>; @state.gov>; @usdoj.gov>; @state.gov>; @state.gov>; @state.gov>; @state.gov>; @state.gov>; @hq.dhs.gov>; @hq.dhs.gov>; @HQ.DHS.GOV>; Flentje, August (CIV) <August.Flentje@usdoj.gov>; @ice.dhs.gov>; Ensign, Drew C (CIV) <Drew.C.Ensign@usdoj.gov> Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: Abrego Garcia - AEA Return Attached is Mr. Cerna's draft declaration on the removal for your review. He and I walked through what happened on the ground. It was administrative oversight. Regarding the five questions: 1. This guy is a leader of MS-13-So far I have found "verified member," which is included. I have not found anything indicating "leader," but I'll keep looking. 2. His removal was due to a good faith administrative error - This is included at para. 16. 3. We do not believe he is in immediate danger - This gets into country conditions and seems more appropriate for State. 4. We are engaged in multiagency discussions - Robert is aware that discussions are taking place, but since he's not involved, I don't know that we should get into who is in them. Perhaps leave this to State as well.
