Chapter 53- Mark Hannah see Tampa Bay Crash Course of Injustice..(5)

August 2, 2015

B was being discriminated against due to her disabilities for she struggled with ADHD and Epilepsy.

B- "We shall start with my work story because that is where I seemed to finally fall apart. I was so happy to finally be working as a call agent at 24/7 with Ulta being a phone receptionist. As I mentioned before at the end of June Missy, Saul, and Mama almost sabatoged my chances of even getting the job because they were trying me. They showed their true colors in how they felt towards me by not being cooperative with caring for the kid's while I worked."

B thought-
(She was left to fend for herself. Although she did push the kid's on Saul. B felt she had to in order to provide for them and get on her own two feet. Only, it was supposed to be a quick transition.)

Unfortunately, B's idea blew up in her face and a lot of people turned on her.

Once B got the job she took it and rolled with it. B did everything in her power to keep it. Even though it was a challenge every day, she still put up with all the bullshit that came along with the job and stuck to it.

The first incident was the training. There was a lot of material to remember, and B was barely passing the exams. She realized it would have been a lot easier for her to attain the information had she been on her Ritalin.

B: " Ritalin is a drug that I discovered 10 year's ago that helps me focus and manage my life better. It has been a never ending battle to attain this medication because it is a controlled substance, and a lot of psychiatrist are afraid to prescribe it to me because so many people abuse it, which sucks for me because I can't keep a job without it. I try to make due, but it is too challenging. I literally need this drug to maintain my life."

The company only hired B by default. Most of the people walked out of the training and gave up with the position because the job didn't pay enough to put up with the bullshit training at 6 am. When the program started there were at least 20 candidate's. Once the training was finished only 8 people remained. B was lucky enough to get shuffled through.

When B made it onto the floor she was having a hard time keeping up with the work load. She fell behind and was not able to note all her accounts properly. She kept getting written up for taking time out of her own breaks to stay on task. Finding little shortcuts here and there to catch up.

B felt the supervisors were setting her up for failure because she would go to her cubicle, and either the computer would be malfunctioning, or her headset would be missing. The floor supervisors were making snide remarks about her and pulling her off the floor to have meetings that would degrade her. It got to the point where B's health started deteriorating because she was not getting enough nourishment due to skipped breaks, and not getting an adequate amount of sleep due to stress. B felt like she had to overcompensate all the time just so she could keep her job, but put her needs to the wayside. Eventually she went and got a doctor's note so they would understand her health condition.

B: "I would just ignore them and do my work, but they made going to my job hell."

B tried to find ways to ask for accommodations in order to find relief for her learning disability. She sent a note to HR asking if it would be possible to have an assigned cubicle so she can log in and out of her computer without any trouble because she was not able to remember the 15 different passwords and all the employees were not allowed to have any paper or pens on the floor. The supervisors of course found a way to dismiss her request by making B the only one without an assigned cubicle; it was like a slap in the face. It seemed as if she couldn't catch a break no matter where she sat.

One day B was so happy because it seemed like one of the supervisors finally took the time to help her figure out an issue she was having. It finally seemed like someone in the department really cared for once, so she got excited hugged her and gave a little peck on the cheek, which in the Spanish culture showed a sign of gratitude.

Do you know the next day at work she was taken into HR and was written up for that? She couldn't understand and wanted to address it with the supervisor face to face, but they did not give her a chance to and demanded she go back to work.

B went back to her cubicle and tried to recollect her thoughts and felt she needed to explain herself to this woman that she must have offended.  She asked her boss,

B- "Please if I may speak to this woman would it be inappropriate for me to apologize?"

B's boss explained to her,
"It is not the best time."

B told her, - "I feel I need some time to gather my thought's before I conduct my job."

She went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet crying and thought to herself.
(Never in my wildest dreams did I mean to sexually harass her. I was just trying to be kind.)

This really bothered B a lot, she started thinking.

(What is this world coming to if a person cannot even show gratitude? Well maybe I don't belong in such a world?)

At that moment B started hyperventilating wishing she was not in this world. Then her ears made a sound like a waterfall, and everything went completely black.

B felt herself in another dimension, and she was not sure where she was, it seemed as if she was in a highschool, but it was a different life. A better life that she wished she had, where people were generous and kind hearted. They made her feel loved and wanted........all of a sudden she woke up from this other life on the bathroom floor to the paramedics surrounding her, and a grotesque taste in her mouth which reminded her of taking a huge gulp of the ocean.

Later that evening B's neighbors sister came up to her and asked, "Are you alright?" She said, "I found you in the bathroom stall seizing and called 911. They couldn't get you out at first because the stall was locked, and we had to figure out a way to drag you out." She claims B was seizing off and on for a good 20 minutes.

B never did get to speak to the lady she hugged.  She wished the woman could have found some empathy in her heart and treated her as a human being who had feelings.

The paramedics took B to Largo Med, and when they asked her who could come get her the first response was,

B- "My husband"

The people making the calls for her at the hospital told B that Saul was not willing, so B asked them to call Zane and luckily Zane came through for B. It seemed as though Zane was the only one person that cared. At least someone did.

When B was in the hospital lobby Mark Hannah, a news anchor, was on the TV blasting about all the cop killings.

B was thinking,
(Wow! How uncanny I used to go to school with that guy and here comes Zane another guy I went to school with. Then she recollected the dream she had slightly when she was unconscious. Are these just coincidences, or GOD are you trying to show me something?)

B- Mark you are the only person I have chosen to use their real name in this book so far. I really hope you get a chance to read this someday and give your input. Please have a heart and help an old friend figure out which platform I should display my work?

B had a day off from work, but the following day she showed up for her scheduled shift. She was told that she could take some time off if need be.

B mentioned to her boss, -
"I can't take any time off because I have two kid's to support and I can't afford to lose any time."

B continued to work her shift. As she sat there a muscle spasm began in her leg, probably due to the seizure the other day. B's body was showing signs of regression.  She stood up from her chair to walk it off.

B's supervisor said,-
"What are you doing?"

B explained,-
"I am having muscle spasms in my leg. It is probably due to the seizure I had at work the other day."

The supervisor said, -
"If you're not in your seat taking calls then I am going to have to write you up."

B told her,- "You do what you have to do then."

Then B proceeded to take calls as she stood by her chair and stretched the ligament out. The next day B was terminated from her job for insubordination, even though she had a doctors note pertaining to her medical condition, and they were not willing to make any adaptations to work around her disability.  Actually, they did just the opposite and made B's job that much harder for her to be productive. Like most of B's job's it was a miserable experience.

Now B has been trying to collect disability since 2012. She has been denied six times. She cannot seem to keep a job to save her life. She has been fired from 10 consecutive jobs now.

B- "Should I just give up and shoot myself now because I am finding it impossible to afford to live in this fucked up world?

It's not even worth it!

I hate gun's anyway.

I Just keep breathing and swimming.

I can't help the fact, that I feel like I am slowly drowning."

Chapter 52- Neglect

09/01/2009- Present Day        

The Florida Health Department (FHD)- Healthy Families went to B's home to work with her and the baby. She also utilized the pregnancy center and fulfilled the whole 7 week course so she could be the best mom she could possibly be. Martha from Suncoast came to her home bi-weekly for grief counseling before and after she had Jr.

Pat and B attended Directions For Living, for their mental health, because of the abuse they suffered by Saul. B tried to help her husband seek mental health as well, but he was in denial due to substance abuse and financial hardships.

The Collumns at Allens Creek kept raising their rent, due to constant late payments, the Sanchez just couldn't catch up and struggled to remain financially stable. They both could not hold down a job because they had moved to the state of Florida during the time of a recession causing a lot of mental stress in their relationship. What the Collumns of Allens Creek did was put them in a situation to become homeless, resulting in an eviction.

A friend of B's had extra room and she let them move in until they were able to get on their feet. B attended Vocational Rehabilitation to help place her in a job, due to B's disability all her recent employers in Florida discriminated against her, and were not willing to make any accommodations to help her remain employed.

B: These employer's would set me up for failure which resulted in my termination. This would then upset my husband, causing a rift in our relationship. My husband began cheating on me, drinking excessively, abusing me and the kid's.

Saul's behavior ended up escalating which then resulted in him DUI with a suspended license and becoming an habitual offender. Saul ended up getting incarcerated on several occasions, putting the Sanchez in further debt. Then he would blame B for not being supportive of their family.

When the Sanchez moved into 2881 Cathy Ln. Clearwater FL 33760, their roomate Missy Elliot expected  the rent to be paid to her. Lator the Sanchez came to find out that she was not the rightful owner, and was posing herself as one illegally, she was squatting in the home. So the Sanchez saw this as an opportunity to save money and buy their own home.

B did some research on tax lien certificates, and found it to be a good outlet to make a sound investment, and attain a home free and clear. She went onto Diane Nelson's Tax collectors website, and saw a property she liked that had delinquent tax liens from 2013. B put $1000 down on what she believed to be a tax lien certificate, on November 9th 2014. B waited a month to receive that tax lien certificate, and felt proud to be contributing to the community and doing her due diligence.

Going into the year 2015 B felt confident that she made a good investment, and that their luck was going to change. B came to find out instead that she was duped by Diane Nelson's the Tax Collector. They told her she had paid somebody's past due taxes in error and explained to her the process on how to get her money back. B did as she was told, but then told her she was not entitled to get her money back due to the time frame in which the property was sold. She felt violated due to the result's of this processing error which was misleading her into losing her investment, leaving their family once again in financial hardship.

Tax season was right around the corner, and Saul and B developed a savings plan to put down on a home. Saul's drinking was out of control, and his aggressive behavior was spiraling. He assaulted B and the kid's repeatedly, causing them emotional distress and negligent to their well being. B's youngest is now developmentally delayed and her oldest, at the age of six, told Directions For Living that he wanted to go to heaven by getting beaten to death.

In March 2015, Saul got a passport for their two year old, and the $10,000 which was being saved for a home, and left for Nicaragua, his home country and spent it all on 05/09/2015-05/30/2015. When Saul came back B stood up to him finally, after 11 years, and told him.

B: I am done putting up with your lies and manipulation Saul. This is financial, emotional, mental, and physical abuse that you have inflicted on us over the years.

At this time we were still living in the home that was in the process of foreclosing and he abandoned the two kids and I with no marital or child support. When I went to DOR to apply for child support in June 2015, the DOR refused us support, explaining that there was a DOR case already established in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Which was true for my first child was born there in 2007, before we were married, my husband payed child support while we resided in MA, and he resided in FL. He convinced B to move to Florida by promising that they would buy a house and get married.

B: I think he only married me so he wouldn't have to pay the State of MA child support. After we did marry he was quick to prove it and get that money back into taxes he owed. By this time, in 2015, I was seriously considering moving back to MA so I could support my children on my own. I felt bad though because my children were getting the education and services they so desperately deserved. It seemed like such a shame to deprive them of the security and resources that had taken me years to establish, or the fact that the man they had always known as their father resided here in Florida. Even if he was an abuser I could still monitor his behavior around them, so I decided to stick around, and try to make it work.

B absolutely regreted making this decision because what transpired next was a living nightmare, and she honestly never imagined in her wildest dream's this would ever happen to her kid's and they ended up as victims of a broken judicial system.
