GO TO MY LIVE JOURNAL USER INFO, TO DONATE TO MY "HELP US APPEAL A PGO THAT WAS GRANTED TO CHILD WELFARE" FUND. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH :) www.youtube.com/gallagherromeosmom is the site with all the videos on it of my parenting.
WHAT CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES HAS COST US, FINANCIALLY(SO FAR):
$5,000 - On the lawyer we have retained currently, because, again, Legal Aid turned us down
$4,300 - For Lesley Cooney-Burk to read transcripts and represent us in court twice, because Legal Aid turned us down
$2,600 - For transcripts(since, you guessed it, Legal Aid turned us down for this, too!)
$1,056 - The amount of income my Mom lost, by having to miss work for court dates/other appointments
$184 - For parking downtown during court appearances
$200 - Gas to and from court SIXTEEN times, to and from EIGHT meetings with lawyers, to and from two appointments with Lila for counseling, to and from two appointments with Maria Filyk for a mental health assessment/counseling, to and from the first parenting assessment appointment with Sally During(Child and Family "Services" only spent $450 on my transportation by cab to the rest of the assessments), because they claimed the only resources they could find were downtown or in the Northeast, even though they knew we were in the SOUTHeast
$144 - Once we started driving to the train station and taking the train to court(not much of a difference in cost, though, huh?)
$50 - Gas to and from Child And Family Services buildings TEN times(they switched social workers, thinking the new social worker's office was closer to us, but it's actually nearly two miles further, DUH!!)
TOTAL = $13,534
PLEASE, please, please CONTRIBUTE to my CAUSE!! My Dad was working at Home Hardware at the age of SIXTY-NINE, until a bike accident deemed him DISABLED! My Mom suffers from ULCERATIVE COLITIS, now, because of all the STRESS Child And Family "Services" has put us through, and is still having to work EIGHT HOUR days at Wal-Mart at the age of SIXTY-ONE to make end's meat! Child And Family "Services" forced me to QUIT MY JOB at Jolly Good's Candy Stop, because my boss was short-staffed, and said, "Either you work the shifts that are on the schedule, or you quit", and Child Services told me, if I DIDN'T complete the Parenting Assessment when it was convienient FOR SALLY DURING, they'd have to APPREHEND Gallagher! Even though I DID complete the Parenting Assessment, he was STILL apprehended!!
