admin: From One Storm to Another

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:19:16 +0000

“My name is Jeffrey Ames Parks. I was in a terrible storm called “Katrina.” What a storm it was. It was such a terrible storm; it changed my entire life – more so than I ever thought imaginable. The reader of this is probably wondering, what do I mean by this? Please allow me to take the time to explain my words to you.

It all happened on 8/29/05 at 8:00 a.m. I will always remember that date for all the days of my life. Let me just say, to wake with water all over one’s head is a nightmare in itself. The water that rose all the way to the roof.

Let me introduce the loves of my life that were so traumatically taken from me within a moment’s time: First off, I have the beloved mother who birthed me. She had come from Terre Haute, Indiana to visit me and my family on our 18th wedding anniversary. She arrived in New Orleans on 8/5/05 at 9:00 p.m. Then, we have my wife of 18 years, Maria Keisha Torres Parks, whom I loved with all my life spirit. Maria gave me two babies who were twins. Their names are Asia Marie Torres Parks and Chad Jeremy Torres Parks. They were each 3 years old at the time of Katrina.

So, anyway, the waters took us to the roof of our house. All five of us found ourselves waiting on the roof for a helicopter because the water was so high. I had led the way to the roof with the twins in my arms: Asia in my left, Chad in my right. My wife was holding my belt buckle while my mom held her. We were waiting for the National Guard helicopter; an accident was waiting to happen.

We waited and waited with no apparent help in sight. All of a sudden, the nearby levee gave way. Water and more water pounded upon my very soul. We were swept up and on our way into the sea. Oh, how I went under! The chain we had formed broke within my very sight. Oh, what a tragic day that became part of the rest of my life! It is a day I will always remember, no matter what I do or say. I still always hear the baby’s cry: “Help me, daddy, help me !!!!”

Two years later, I got a fateful call while I was in Dallas at the Convention Center. They had found the decomposing bodies. Transport was provided for me in order to determine if the remains were in fact my mom, wife and children. They were without a doubt because the clothes they had on were the same clothes they had on when I saw them last. The screams, the overwhelming loss — I get choked up just thinking of it — words will never explain. Just continue to pray for my strength in the Lord, so I don’t go insane.

All I really wish and hope for with this story is that you cherish your loved one while you can because they will be gone one day. Thank you for reading, understanding and having the concern to pray for a wretch like me. If you really appreciate my story and relate to what I have written, please send a word of kindness to the following address: Jeffrey Ames Parks, c/o The Stewpot, 408 Park Ave., Dallas, TX 75201.

Before I close, know that I strive daily right now to become as self-sufficient as I was before that fateful, awful day that took my family and my job, as well. In New Orleans, I was a genuine shipping / receiving manager and fork lift operator. This was work I didn’t mind doing because I was always thinking of the family before myself. So, if respect is due for such a tragic wretch as me, please reach out and help a man like me with a new beginning and security, and please do so sincerely.

God bless and God keep each and every one of you who took the time to read this entry.

I am truly yours,

Jeffrey Ames Parks

P.S. I survived to tell this story because of a tv antennae that was sticking up out of the water. As I lay stranded in the water, rigor mortis set into my left hand. I have difficulty moving my fingers. With the help of my Club Speakeasy friends, I can share this story with you today.

admin: He was diagnosed with schizo

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:32:45 +0000

My boyfriend’s son is 28 years old. He was diagnosed with schizo typal personality disorder by the army. He is homeless and doesn’t think anything is wrong with him. His father let him live with him for years while he refused to work and did nothing. Finally, he kicked him out last year as it was taking a heavy toll on his father. He constantly comes to his father’s house asking for food, money, etc. His father usually gives into him, but he cannot take care of this 28 year old man who won’t get help or do anything for himself. We really don’t know what to do anymore as he is of age and has to seek help for himself. In the meantime, it is detrimental to my boyfriend’s health and well being. His son does weird things like tries to cast spells with dead snakes and throws them around my boyfriend’s property. I find this behavior very disturbing. He obviously has mental issues, but we can’t do anything to force him to get help. I see this young man as a tragedy in the making. Do you have any ideas or thoughts that could help us? Thank you.

admin: This time last year-I was homeless

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:33:07 +0000

This time last year-I was homeless and working as a Nurse at one of the hospitals in the area. I decided God was just a joke to calm the masses. It has taken a year -and a lot of help for me to final have a place to reside with my dog. To be able to give hope to another is something I want to do..this to shall pass… we all need each other. sincerely, Lana A

admin: I was evicted from my apt

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:16:10 +0000

I lived in Dallas from 2007 to Dec 2008. I was evicted from my apt. since I looked for work and could not find a job after 9 mos. in the Dallas area. I am now back in the so calif. area. I have used homeless support from evangelical free church in Brea Calif. and have also contributed when I had the money both fuel vouchers and food. I am living in my van but staying with ex-employer using bathroom facilities and working part time at his home in yorb-linda, and labor ready. What would really help would be if we could get our own government to support US workers and the middle class by not allowing US companies to send all the jobs to china and foreign countries. Greed and the almighty dollar with destroy this country. But also I know the bible says: look upward for your redemption draweth neigh, come quickly Lord Jesus and Rapture your church and all believers out of here! Harpodzo? or snatching-away in the greek.

admin: I live in a leased car

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:19:36 +0000

I do not know if I qualify to be a homeless? I live in a leased car and my husband is in jail. I can’t find any odd job and my lease payment is past due. I have been asking the brothers and sisters to help me with rejection so far. Maybe when I lose my car and sleep on the street, I will truly qualify for homeless and have some help. I hope not, I know God can touch anyone’s heart to lift the other brothers or sisters up.
