1. This is great news and we have some great members, don't we?

I've got some hunches about who helped but it doesn't matter, there are dozens who would do such a think if they knew of your plight.

I'm glad you'll be able to get away from your oppressive family members.

And the good thing about it not happening too soon is that you'll have time to look up some situations for yourself in Tucson.

Have you tried craigslist for living situations? Also, I hope you can have a job really soon, I know you depend on having some income.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

2. What I am going to do is go strait to Primavera (sp?)!

They are the largest Homeless avocets in Tucson. If anyone can help me with the Section 8 mess it is them! They can also help with the grief counseling I need over all o this and get me into "One Stop" job search!

I'm going HOME!

[NYC_SKP]

6. Can you contact them ahead of time? They have jobs right now!

What nice people!

Primavera provides a variety of options from 5-day emergency shelter stays to 30-day motel stays to long-term affordable housing. If you are looking for more long-term housing, please click here to visit our Rental Housing page.

5. Homeward bound~

I am so happy for you, LFR.

Good luck

[Lady Freedom Returns]

19. Thank you! sheshe2!

I have roughly one month to get stuff in action.

I will also need an new ID i think. I still have my Non Driver ID with no expiration on it from AZ. But I don't know if it is still good since I just got a MO ID last month.

I will also need to have them close my SNAPs case here in MO to reopen it in AZ. That is anther reason to get Primavera into it. They do many things for the Homeless in Tucson, one thing is mail service.

Then go and find out what is with the section 8 due to what Dave pulled, to see what can be done for me in that.

This time I will be flying solo! Hey, Ho! Let's go!

[sheshe2]

22. Flying Solo!

You will soar~

[Lady Freedom Returns]

27. I am so happy! And it is all to a fellow DU'er!

All to do is wait for OCT 5! I need to start setting things up. I am so happy and it is all due this 1 DU'er. I hope they know how happy they have made me!

[Raine1967]

28. This needs a 'happy happy joy joy' KICK! eom.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

35. Thank you for the kick!

The DU'er that is doing this deserves to have this thread kicked up. They are the reason I am going home!

[freshwest]

29. Celebrating with you, LFR! For you:

One of five songs on iPod that I listened to everyday the last time I moved away from oppressive people...

Much love to you.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

31. Thanks to the DU'er that is willing to help me!

They have put life back into me!

To them: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[ohheckyeah]

30. I'm happy for you!

Tucson holds a special place in my heart.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

32. The place calles to me.

When the bus dropped us off (my ex SO was with me) I felt so at home and the place just me in as one of it's own.

I miss it soooo much!

Once again, this is being done by one of our own! They are just wanting to help someone in need to go home. It is amazing! All that I have gone through, a person I never meet is giving me a great gift! I thank them so much.

[ohheckyeah]

38. I understand....

even though I was born and raised in and once again live in Virginia, there is something special to me about Tucson and other areas of Arizona. We moved back to Virginia from Tucson mainly because my parents are elderly.

If you are looking for a small and nice apartment, I can recommend La Hacienda. I worked as an assistant manager there. If you are interested in work at home opportunities, I can also recommend the forum Work Place Like Home...... http://www.workplacelikehome.com/ I found a number of opportunities at the forum.

Good luck to you!

PS - if you get a chance once you get settled, share some Tucson pictures.

[Cha]

33. Wow! I got happy tears for you, too, LFR!

So, it is sooner that later!

to the kindness of DUers

[Lady Freedom Returns]

34. Yes! It is GREAT

All due to the kindness of another, I get to go where I feel like I belong!

Now it is just waiting. According to the site both Joplin and Tucson' depots must be open. Then wait three hours.

I have 10 days after purchase to pick it up! I can't wait!

[Cha]

36. Bon Voyage.. I know you'll

kiss the ground when you get there.



Be interesting to read how your life keeps evolving once you get back on terra firma!

[Hekate]

37. All the best wishes in the world to you, Lady Freedom as you Return to Tucson

[Lady Freedom Returns]

40. Thank you!

I am just waiting for our fellow DU'er to let me know when to pick up the tickets!

I am doing prep for when I get there via computer. Oh I Can't Wait!

[spanone]

[steve2470]

41. this is one of the reasons I come to DU, good luck to you ! nt

[Lady Freedom Returns]

43. Thank you!

This person has brought a smile as big as there home state to my heart!

[ladyVet]

44. I can feel your happiness through your posts.

I don't know your situation, but it warms my heart to hear you are going to be able to get back to your heart's home. Big shout out to the wonderful person who is making this happen for you!

Like you, I loved Tucson. I was stationed there for a couple of years, had my two oldest boys there. I'd planned to retire there, or in a smaller town in the mountains, somewhere. Not likely to ever happen now, due to my own financial situation.

Enjoy every minute of your new home, and don't forget to post pictures.
