How Is A Single Mother In Monsey NY Homeless With Two children ?
How is a single mother in Monsey NY homeless with two small children ? I don't know, but I am that mother.
My name is Leah (Kleim) Wechsler. I Am a single mother and I live in Monsey NY ( Suffern) with my two children who are 10 and 4 years old. I don't have any income right now and I don't receive any child support, government assistance / welfare, or food stamps.
On Monday October 31st my brother in law Rodney Wechsler will be taking possession of our home. The Rockland County Sheriff Department is coming to evict me and my children from the marital home that we were supposed to be able to live in for 3 years, as per my divorce settlement with my ex husband Jonathan Wechsler, Rodney Wechsler’s brother and business partner.
The house is in my brother in law Rodney Wechsler’s name, as was everything in my marriage. During our long drawn out divorce proceedings my ex claimed he was broke and poor and his brother Rodney paid for everything for him, provided a car for him and gave him money for bail and attorneys. His brother Rodney Wechsler even let him use his house to do a fraudulent home inspection for his visitation. Yet that same saint of a brother isn't willing to help him feed his children, or keep a roof over their heads. Anyone can see through that. Sadly even my 10 year old does.
I have begged and pleaded with my ex to please help us, either with a place to live / stay or to help us with a storage unit and moving our things, or to simply pay his child support or back support. He absolutely refuses to. He ignores me or laughs at me. He is planning on moving right back into HIS house after we are evicted. When I mentioned that to him he laughed at me and said “ You can live with me” we definitely can't do that. He was unbearable to live with, and he would call the sheriff on me 2 hours later and have me arrested. . Our divorce started in 2017 and he has thrown temper tantrums in court about getting his “stuff” yet he has refused to come and get it when I have asked him to, because he’s just going to move right back in. His “stuff” isn't going to be thrown into the garbage on the curb in the rain like our stuff will, his “stuff” will be rescued and saved.
I am just one person. Physically I can't possibly pack everything up and move it to a storage unit by myself, I can't even pack it all alone. I have a tumor in my knee that causes excruciating pain, it's called PVNS and I need a total knee replacement, because I don't balance myself correctly on that knee it has caused debilitating back pain too. Financially I can't do it either, I don't even have the money for a storage unit let alone a truck or van to get anything there.. It's just impossible.
If it were just me I’d shove some clothes into a backpack and walk away. I have done that before in an abusive situation, and I would figure it out somehow, I’d find 3 jobs and get an apartment, I’ve done that. But it’s not just me, it’s my two little innocent children who don't deserve to be homeless and terrified and traumatized. And as their mother that’s my job to prevent and so I turn to you and ask you to please help me do that for my children.
Right now I am looking for people who can help me pack / move, and boxes or storage containers. And to find a sponsor or raise enough money to get a storage unit, a van or truck to get our things there and the money to stay in a decent hotel in the school district for two weeks and be able to buy food and necessities and pay my due now / past due bills. If you can help in any way possible I would greatly appreciate it.

Leah I am so sorry you are going through this. This is disgusting, I would say shocking but its not anymore. It is standard for domestic violence victims in the frum community to be brushed under the rug with the kids that are molested.
ReplyDeleteJon and Rodney went to a new low level.
ReplyDeleteHis family goes to Chabad of Suffern. I have seen them there. Contact Rabbi Shmuel Ganzc and tell him what they are doing to you and that you need help. The family should disown him and help you or be kicked out of Chabad of Suffern. They shouldn't welcome anyone who does this, it doesn't sit right with many of us. email Rabbi Gancz at Rabbi@JewishSuffern.com
