It's gonna take about 30-35 minutes for us to get to her office in Manhattan
This is a civil rights case for my son against the city , the NYPD, the psych hospital, and the parents of the child that started all of it and I'm doing everything in my power to fight for him. And while I'm there to speak to her about what we went through with that white lady at the building we were staying at
So we have an hour and half to get there basically an hour cause it's takes about 30 ,35 minutes to get to her . If we don't make it today we'll have to wait til Monday and I kinda wanna get the ball rolling as soon as possible cause these take forever to be completed
It's almost 2pm just hopefully someone helps us so we can start this fight
I really don't want traffic to get bad it's gonna take us longer to get there and she is fitting us in for 3pm she cancelled something else to see us for this case. I don't wanna waste her time when she could've took her other appointment. I'm grateful she made time for us to deal with this on such short notice. She suggested we come today so I wanna make it . So she can see that we're serious about fighting on this case . She a legal aid lawyer so she's swamped with cases but she said she's passionate about this case because she hates when children have to experience any racial biases cause it causes long term mental damage. So she made me pumped up too in wanting to fight even harder
It's 2:04 and we are supposed to be there at 3pm we have less then an hour now to get there it's 30-35 minutes to get there with good traffic. I'll hold on to hope til 2:30 and cancel and apologize to her . She could've used that time to help the client she cancelled on for us
So I have 14 minutes before it's over for us 😞. We aren't gonna make it if we are in a cab by 2:30 and it's already 2:16 I feel bad cause I know whoever she cancelled on is underprivileged just like me and whatever it was they got pushed by because my case is for my son ... Damn I hate that I inconvenienced another probably person of color that needed legal services and I can't even do anything for my son's case today
It's too late we aren't gonna make it 😞 it's already 2:33 we not gonna make it in time . Im gonna call and apologize and also ask her to apologize to her client that she cancelled for us.
She scheduled us for Monday at 2pm so u can plz help us for Monday to get there. I don't wanna miss this the next opportunity for this . Cause these things are seriously time consuming and I want us to win for my son. I don't want him to feel like he suffered in vain . She will get us back home we just need to get to her on Monday plz my son deserves a win after what he went through
to get to my lawyers office on Monday. I can tell from her tone she's a lil annoyed that I didn't make it cause she had to cancel another client for me. I like her and I don't want her to pass my case along because I can't afford to show up so plz she's a black woman who's from the same neighborhood I'm from so I feel like she can fight this from a place of understanding
I'm reaching out to as much people as I can to make sure we don't miss this cause this means a lot to me. They did these things cause we're poor and black and they think we're stupid and would just take the horrible treatment. I need to do this for not just me but for my kids as well to show them to stand up for themselves and fight for what's right . Don't let anyone in any position shut u up. I feel in my heart if I don't make it next time she's gonna pass along my case cause it seems like I'm wasting her time. I'm not I just couldn't get the cab money to get to her .... 😞. So please help me do this for my son. I'm having to deal with issues dealing with him from this incident. Help me plz
If I knew she could've made room for us I would've asked yesterday. This shit is fucking with me everytime I look at my son 😞
He still won't talk about what happened to him in there and he's in therapy and he started peeing on himself again. And he's not as talkative as before sometimes I catch himjust like staring into space and he wasn't like that before they put him in that hospital. I still don't know what happened to his shoes cause they let him out in fucking socks I don't know just thinking about that night makes me so fucking angry and helpless
Please reblog i ran out of posts this is for my son to get justice for what they did to him ✊🏿
I fear that if she passes it along the next person won't go hard for us . They might be intimidated by the scale of the case . She's not .she's doesn't play she's very serious and fights for her clients
My son is 8 years old . I love him to death that's my lil man and everyday I feel sick that I wasn't there to protect him from that fuck shit ....
I've been so depressed today I guess it's my bi polar acting up I started the day at such a high then when I couldn't make it to the lawyers office my mood fell so far down it's crazy . I've been waiting to get started on his case and when the day presents itself I can't even take advantage of it . My mind automatically goes to the worse thoughts like my lawyer giving up on us and us not being able to make it there. He has therapy but to be honest she's not the best I know it's because she's a medicaid therapist I know if I was able to afford a paid therapist he would be get better care . She's always trying to suggest pills and not really talking like that she just lets the clock run out so the state can pay her. If we were able to win this case I could afford to get him the best mental health care possible . Ya know. I'm trying to stay positive but we havent even gotten 1 dollar towards getting us there. This is so important for us . To actually fight for something and not take it laying down. That's if we even get to fight ...
My lawyer is a legal aid lawyer so she has many cases to deal with I asked her when we were on the phone when I cancelled if it was possible for her to come to my home because I can't afford to make it there with my son in a wheelchair without a car ride and she said as much as she would love to she has so many cases that she needs to be in the office for when she has to run down to the courthouse and also she always has clients so taking the time to get on the train and during work hours when it isn't something having to do with pushing cases forward she can't really do that. She asked if I had someone who could come in my place while on video and I don't I don't have any family or friends . So me not being there when she asks me to is hurting my case
I hope someone helps us man cause I'm already hurting my case by not showing up today . We just need to get there . She'll get us back home . I don't got anything . Not even a dollar I made sure I paid bills because I don't know when I'll have another job. I didn't know she would want me to come in on the same day. I don't get paid from the daycare til next Friday 😕 . So I'm at the mercy of strangers to care enough to want to help us. I don't have family or friends to ask . I'm alone with just my 2 kids in this world I don't have nobody and I live a lonely existence. My mother died this year and my aunt disappeared. So what can I do ? I hate being poor ....
All I feel like I'm teaching my son is that we're a loser family that has to beg for help . And ur mom can't afford to fight for you 😔. I can't do shit right. If he can't afford it just accept what people do to you cause you won't be able to afford to do anything about it. You don't wanna be like ur mom begging so just don't bother fighting. Cause ur sit here crying like I am feeling like a failure because I can't help my own child . I hate being on here I wish I had other legal options.
I was just told the only way I'm getting the 45 dollars is if they can fuck me in my ass ... I don't even know how to respond to that 😔 the crazy thing is that's only offer I've gotten for help to get to my lawyer
