I have been out for just shy of 1 year. My home was destroyed by water during a highway project & no one is taking responsibilities for it. No legal aid has responded to my attempts of asking for assistance. I tried and got money to go to college but, the school has said no because of my crime and that I'm not going to be allowed on campus. Yet, I was during my probation. I qualified for about 3,500 a month I believe for school. The total amount of funds needed for a new home and to pay off all debts will be just shy of $300,000. $200.000 for the home and the rest of my $18,000 debts will be paid and some left to help me in the future. Is this too much to ask so soon?

First you need to hire an attorney and sue if the construction of a highway caused the damage, who cares if they are claiming to be repsonble, you sue and make them. ** assuming they were really the cause.

What was the crime ? Most will not stop you from going to school, but many will stop you from getting grants or student loans.

And you work, and make payment plans for your other debts.
