Alexander Higgins House, Blog Destroyed By Sandy Flooding
When I was 16 my “foster” parents through me out on the streets in the middle of the Blizzard of ’96 and I spent the next 8 years battling homelessness. I worked so hard to never have to face that threat again. Sandy just destroyed my house and we don’t have flood insurance. The Ex will be in court first thing filing to get custody back of our son. My wife doesn’t want to have to deal with that as we struggle to rebuild everything. Dark days lie ahead and there is just no simple solution as I find myself homeless once again 16 years later. This time it is not myself I have to fend for but a wife and two kids. My servers and my blog which are my livelihood are no longer, my family is about to be ripped apart and everything has just been destroyed. Have to keep my head up high and just keep moving forward because as I learned last time around even though I can’t see it there is a light somewhere at the end of the tunnel.
Right now I have limited access to electicity and internet so it is hard to keep in touch as my cell phone service is down and due to the tremendous amount of widespread damage power and other utlities are likely to take a long time before they are restored and I am struggling to find a solution to this disaster and get life back to normal for my family.
Donations and other assistance are highly appreciated in this time of need as I attempt to rebuild everything I have lost from starting all over from scratch.
For those not familiar with the area, I live right across the bridge from these now infamous scenes and can see the Seaside Bridge from my inlet into the Barnegat Bay.
I have spent the week waiting for help from FEMA while NJ governor Chris Christie is on TV saying FEMA is providing assistance within 24-48 hours. I showed up at a FEMA / Christie press conference just a few miles from my house and recorded them telling people 7 to 10 days to hear from them
The server’s and networking equipment along with all other personal property have been wiped out by record Hurricane Sandy flooding.
I had a home before it was stolen.
ReplyDeleteI had homeowners insurance on the home, and content insurance for items inside.
I remember the Hurricane Katrina fiasco. Damage that came from the bottom up was flood damage and not covered by normal home owner's insurance.
Damage that came from the roof down was covered by home owners insurance.
The people who state they lost everything. Are they saying there is no insurance to help them rebuild or restore or repurchase?
Are they saying there is not enough to rebuild, restore, repurchase.
I'd love to help but some company called ACS Support; using IRS paperwork created a garnishment order of a civil penalty of $5000 claiming a frivolous filing for being who I am.
Congress never gave any other company the right to tax the persons, but this ACS Support has assumed that right while using IRS and Treasury paperwork.
Needless to say, their actions prevent me from using my life's labor to help my brothers and sisters in their time of need.
Our day will come and we'll be free of the shackles created by others we've never seen, met, nor done business with.
Persecution for being who we are, you'd never think of all the forms it comes in.
The Creator within us, is not subject to the desires of any many nor man's creations.
Greater is He that is in Me, than he that is in the world.
