Im going to give 5 starts, because the system breakdown is not with United Way or the call centers, it's with the resources to which oine is referred, sadly. And I'm going to be homeless as well. I'm trying to find a way to come to peace with it and accept it, because I cannot fix the issue. From a United Way referral was Legal Services Springfield. They in turn referred me to another office, who referred me to another, then another until I was referred back to the original office. I contactd the Attorney Gerneral's Ofice, who referred me to the Governor's Constituent Services Office, who referred me to Health and Senior Services, who Hotlined me to Adult Protective Services. Jo Carol from the local office, following up for the Hotline said I did not qualify for services, that I communicated well and could protect my own intrests. I'm on the verge of losing everything, and she says I can protect my own interests? I fail to see the connection? I was selling some property I own in ordrer to generate funds to live on for a bit. Twioold liens of which I was unaware (they['re not even on MO Department of Revenue's web site) killed the sale. April will be the 3rd month of arrears for the apartment and vehicle. I'm doomed. I am done for. I can't get information and documentation from DOR. For 3 weeks they reused to answer my emails. And I can't do anything to change it. They tell me one figure verbally but IO can't gt the documetation they sent me to add up to it. I also have a hear issue, vision issues no income, no health insurance. A phone call with DOR overran a Medicaid appointment I had. But the Department of Revnue ignores questions about hardship. I can't do this by myself, but I can't stop it from happening. And I am 60 years old. I was 2 yearws from retiring at reduced benefit, sure. I hoped to put a small trailer on that property I sold. It would not be high living, but I'd hae what I needed. That's been shot out from under me now. I cant even look for another job. I wont have a vejhicle to drive to work. If work at home, I won't have a home soon.. Even if I were to get one tomorrow, the arrears are too high to catch up fast, and with eviction and repossession, too far into the process. Any first paycheck would not be received in time. There's no winning this for me now or coming out of it in any good shape. Juyst oiver 10 years ago a fire took everything I owned. I rebuilt. Now that is being taken away.
