That's pretty much it, in a condensed version. Now that I'm seeing my future as being homeless, with no money, I'm looking for someone that knows about wages I should have received (overtime and Holidays). I was never given a day off. I was taken advantage of. I was told I would never have to worry about looking for another place to live because I could live here until the day he dies and the house gets sold. To be even more convincing, he notarized the letter he wrote stating this and added this to his will. I believed him. Do you have any suggestions? I have a court date 11/26/24 and I had Legal Aid at the courthouse help me file my Answer, but they don't represent you. I NEED HELP!

Do you have a copy of that letter? I am not sure how you will get back pay without a contract in place. Without weekly time sheets. Sorry for your situation but we are caregivers from all over the US. I don't know how much more we can say to you that we already haven't. Go to Social Services in your County and see if they can provide you with temporary housing. Please come back and tell us how it works out.

I think that yes, you are looking now at being homeless and in shelter.
You do have caregiving experience. You can get a job caring for people for PAY which is how this should have been done. I don't mean to victimize the victim here, but you were taken advantage of because either you lacked knowledge or you chose to believe without good reason to do so. Your letters here serve to warn others, tho that's little help for you. I hope you will update us after your appearance, but they will simply say the agreement was care for housing and that's over.
Make use of the government; call APS for YOURSELF and get shelter housing. Get a job, work and get a room in someone's home. Work up to small efficiency apartment. You CAN do this as you have a skill to sell that is much needed. But this time GET PAID for your work. That is how we live in this country. The system is very very tough.
Continuing to wish you luck ongoing. But you need to learn to dot the i's and cross the t's. Hoping for the best will end in the worst as here it has done.

Kathy,
This is the third time you have written us about this.
We have given you answers on your posts.
I would suspect that, after this has been in the posts three times, we likely have not much more to offer you in terms of ideas for you to try.
I do wish you the best.

Did you have a Caregiving Contract?

What did it say?

Without one, you have no legal standing in a court case. Nothing to ask the judge to enforce.
