I just want to kinda clarify my situation a bit for those that haven't been following me from the very beginning. I've went through about 23 accounts on this platform due to bans and suspensions so my story kinda got scattered throughout the years and different accounts.
Bare with me, it's a lot.
Rewind to 2019- life was beautiful. Our businesses were both booming. One of our companies was the leading company in our state. We were actually #1 in the state of Ohio and #7 Nationally. We had been on local news stations and international news. Articles were being written about us and journalists were always trying to interview us. We were also on the A&E's HOARDERS show. We were signed with a producer and was working on a NETFLIX series. We were kinda a big deal, not to sound conceded.
We had enough money saved up to purchase a house! And boy did we find the most perfect home for our large family (we have 7 children) Finally,they would each have their own room!
Then covid hit.
Then J6.
That was the last day I did a video call with my producer (liberal white lady). I was in DC that day and she knew it.
After thst, everyday it felt like our businesses were getting attacked from a different angle. First, Chase bank closed our accounts. Then, Google- our main source of advertising, suspended both accounts without explanation.
We were in North Carolina for work. We had just arrived to our rental when we get a call from Airbnb stating we couldn't stay there and they were very adamant about it. We called the owner of the home and she called them and told them we could stay, they still said no. They claimed "breach of security" and threatened to call the police if we didn't leave. They too suspended our account without explanation.
Then, Stripe canceled our account without explanation. They were who we used to process credit card payments- which is super important for our business because not only are some of our customers in a different state than us, some just financially can't handle the cost all at once.
I then opened a Square account to process credit card payments. Within 2 months, my account was suspended without reason.
At the same time, this is all during covid and most of my customers are elderly or lean left, so they were terrified to have people in their homes.
Then, since I didn't have my advertising anymore and we moved 3 hrs from our regular customers, I had to post on Facebook to try to get some new clientele.
Well, my very first post- a democrat went to my personal page and noticed I was a Trump supporter and couldn't handle his emotions so he literally tried to destroy my life and businesses.
It gets worse- since buying my dream home, the property taxes went from like $1k to $10k a year. And we barely did anything to the home. We literally still have rooms that have no flooring, just subflooring.
Oh and my electric bills, there are 2, are over $2000 a month.
So, yeah, that's me. That's my story.
I'm just a girl trying to hold onto the things I worked so hard for so my kids have something when I go home 🙏
I've worked since I was 17, and six years ago I finally saved enough to buy a home for my seven children. This house is perfect for our large family, and it's also home to over 200 rescue animals that I care for and need the space for.
Since we bought it, the State has tripled the property taxes, and we've discovered the electricity bills are extremely high. I also own two businesses, but getting re-established in a new area has been far more challenging than I expected.
I normally help others whenever I can, and asking for help is hard for me. But right now, I need support to keep this home and continue caring for my family and the animals that depend on us. Selling is the very last thing I want to do.
If you're able to help, I'm deeply grateful. Thank you for standing with us.
