Family's home invasion
my name is Lindsey and I am a mother and wife. Sunday morning our home was broken into. My 2 oldest daughters were in their room when a homeless individual broke my daughters' ( mia and desteny) window with a plant table we had sitting out on our front porch. The glass shattered all over the room and my girls were cut by it. The individual threatened the lives of my family, he shouted multiple times that we were all going to die tonight and tried at all costs to get into our home to get to my children. We are unsure what his motives were but he kept shouting threats towards me and my children while he was outside. My husband physically fought this individual by himself for an hour until the police showed up. My husband has sustained injuries that he is unable to work and provide for his family. None of our neighbors helped him at all even though they saw and heard what was going on His hand was broken when he blocked a blow of a wooden 2 by 4. He was hit in his already fractured back multiple times by the same plant table. He injured his ankle by chasing the individual and trying to detain him to protect his family. We do not feel safe here anymore. We need to move to be close to our family to be able to heal. The police took an hour to show up and detain the individual. They continue to give us a wrong case number and at this time they are stating they do not know if the charges will stick. We had no support for any of the neighbors we were alone. This story has no media attention, no nothing, and the neighbors pretend like nothing happened. My husband and family are afraid. We do not know why this happened but we do know we need the support to heal. This has been very hard on our family and many of us are now suffering from PTSD. My girls sleep in our room at night while my husband and I stay awake and make sure nothing is wrong. Our whole lives have been turned upside down because of this. We are afraid to be alone, afraid to go outside just afraid in general. For our safety and wellbeing, we need to move. We feel invisible and like we do not matter. If it was any other family around here there would have been news and charges but it was mine. We need the funds for food, transportation, and fund a hotel until my husband can work again, and we need to pay for a storage and a Uhaul. We will sell off everything we can to have some money. We will be happy to give up everything for the safety of our family. The money will be with drawn to our savings account. Thank you.
