Moved by the plight of a single mother who appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show last year to tell of losing her home to Hurricane Katrina, members of a Palatine church invited her to live rent-free in their parsonage.
St. Paul United Church of Christ has hosted Keisha Moran, 23, and her children since last September, providing them with the means for starting a new life--including donations of clothing, furniture, food and even a car. But the church now says it is time for Moran and her three children--ages 5, 1 1/2 and 4 months--to leave and get on with life on their own.
"Our commitment was to provide housing for you and to give you an opportunity to become self-sufficient after the losses you experienced from Hurricane Katrina," the church's Executive Council told Moran in a letter. The council said that it is time for Moran to take "the next step" by herself.
One problem: Moran doesn't want to go. She said she is being kicked out prematurely and for no good reason.
"I have three little kids. They don't deserve to be put out on their behinds," she said.
Moran's predicament is similar to that of other Katrina victims who remain unprepared to fend for themselves, say experts who have counseled evacuees.
christ women you had a year worth of free rent, food etc to give you a chance ot get on the ball and be a productive member of society. instead this lazy bitch would rather cry and beg for more handouts. fvck her. if she refuses to get a job and pay her own way kick her out.
heh i love this part.
McNamara said hosting the family has been "an incredible blessing." But the church community has provided all the help and resources it could muster over the past 11 months to help Moran get on her feet. Day care and job opportunities have been offered, McNamara said.
"I'm certain there are thousands of people in Illinois or anywhere across the country who, if they were given the opportunity to live rent-free in a home the entire year and have their needs met, would seize the opportunity and change their life in such a way that the future would be radically different," McNamara said.
fvck give me free rent, child care and a job! I'm am sure there are thousands in IL that would jump at this chance. this women takes advantage of the generosity of others and just takes takes takes.
really it pisses me off. what a surprise eh?
