My uncle called me yesterday and said he's being a evicted in 3 days. Let me tell you a little bit about him. He is 50ish. He is disabled not like a wheelchair disabled but he gets disability from the Veterans Administration. Anyhow, he get a little bit of money from the VA. A little bit of money from Social Security. Barely anything to live off of. But he makes it somehow. My mom has always been more like a mom to him. Always helping him out and doing for him. And both my brother and I have too. Well he's a recovering Alcoholic. He hasn't had a drink in years. I'm very proud of him. He's very overweight and has trouble getting around. He was trying to set up home healthy care through the VA because he's on oxygen and all that good stuff. Now he gets a letter from an attorney's office that he has 3 days to get out. Like WTF, I could see if he wasn't paying the rent. But he's been sending his portion of the rent (HUD pays the other portion) to the landlords. Well apparently they haven't been paying the mortgage so that leaves my uncle out in the cold. He always has a great attitude really because if it were me I'd be in need of some serious drinking. But he can't do that. So he calls me just now to tell me he called the lawyers office and they gave him 30 days. So now he'll be lookng for a new place within that time they gave him. I'm hoping that he can move closer to my parents, brother and I. We can do more for him if he were closer. He says he needs to be where he is because it's closer to the VA. But he only goes like once a month. When he goes visits us it's like twice a month if not more. So it would be better for him to move closer our way.
So for those that read here.. please pray that we find something. That he can afford it. and it wouldn't hurt to find something close to us.

oh wow - that is tough!! I am glad that he at least got an extension before having to move. Will the VA offer any assistance on helping him find a place? Adding my prayers, and I hope he can find something reasonable for him and close enough to you all and the VA also.
Thanks Peggie.. I hope he can get something. I feel bad for him.
