Recently, one of our neighbors in the 60XX block of Kingsbury was evicted.
While this sort of situation in itself is always difficult, this single mother lost far more than her home. Because she was unable to return to collect her belongings or to stand guard over her household goods until late in the day, very little remained when she arrived. Within six hours, someone helped themselves to her living room, two bedrooms, and kitchen furniture; her TV, stereo, other electronics; most of her daughter’s toys; prescription medications (both suffer from asthma); family records and documents; and most of their clothes. One drawer from a dresser, a broken chain, a lamp, and a small chest remained.
While our former neighbor would like to recover all of her possessions, some things are most important – and irreplaceable: baby portraits of her daughter; photos of her father; college records; financial records; and blueprints for landscaping plans at Hamilton Community Education Center.
If you have come into possession of any of these things – or even some of the furniture – and would like to return it, please contact the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council office at 862-5122.
We do not want to know who or where or how you got this material. Our goal is to return it to the rightful owners.
Please consider helping. Oh, one last item: the eightyear-old daughter’s pet rabbit has also disappeared.
With all the disruption in her life that she is currently experiencing, its return would give her a lot of comfort.
