Joy Kieffer hasn't added a story.
On June 16th 2014 our family was locked out of our home by the Landlord. We have bounced from friends to family members homes over these past 5 months. We also have CYS involved so each place we were able to stay was not good enough for their standards. We recently were able to have two of the children stay with their grandparents and our one son to stay with us in a motel. CYS no longer feels that this is suitable for them and has taken us to court to claim custody of all 3 of our kids. They of course won and now our children are in foster care with people they do not know and we rarely will get to see them. Because of our jobs it has been very hard to try and save up money when we only make minimum wage on a part-time salary. We have been looking for better jobs but it isn't that easy to get a job. We have also been looking into places to rent but we need the down payment which we don't have and most likely will not have for months. We don't really like to ask for help but in our situation we really don't have a choice at this point. We want our kids home with us and that isn't going to happen until we are able to get a place to live. We can afford the rent and utilities but we need help with getting into the place first. Because of our credit we are not able to get a loan. We have tried several times but have had no success. Were not expecting for a whole lot but every dollar helps us to getting closer to getting our children back. If you could help in anyway way we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your help.
