Yet again we've been vandalized, this time the seedlings we've been growing in the program for almost a year. Someone broke into the sun porch green house opened the display case green house took out the growing seedlings we and the children Have been growing for over a year and decided that it would be fun to dump them out all over the floor throw them all over the place and proceed to stomp all over the dirt and seedling covered floo. Some trays we had just sowed with the donated lithop seeds we finally received from some of the kind people on this site, after months of not finding anything. The plants that were in the green house were ripped outta their pots and the pots were smashed and the plant's were smooshed

I was out Christmas shopping for toys for tots donations and for the children in the programs adopt a sponsor for secret Santa gifts (since outta the 37 kids only 2 sponsors signed up) so i was gonna try to fill the others with what little funds i have.
This is the second heart break that's come to the program and it hit just as hard as the first one (topics under: THANK YOu...no!) I don't get it, i really don't. I was gone for about an hour. I called the cops who finally showed up and decided it wasn't that big if an issue to them and they left with a chuckle...that really got me upset. What's the point of having cops if they are unwilling to help the people of the city.
I got on my hands and knees and started trying to pick up any surviving seedlings i could find amongst the dirt, dead plants and broken clay pots...i didn't find much and what i found may not recover from being stepped on rrepeatedly bythe person who did it. I have a feeling it was the same neighbour who did the first act of plant killing, but i can't prove it. But the lump in my throat and the knot in my stomach and the feelingof my eye's burning hot with trying not to cry is enough to have my suspicions. I don't know why this man hates me and the program i run, i don't know why he tries to knock us down when he knows I'm just gonna keep fighting to help pick these kids up. I think he enjoys watching their smiles fade and the sound of their crying and when there laughter turns to sobs. What kinda person is THAT?
I'm trying to move to a new place but it's very hard without a car and with the holidays coming and the relentless weather...i can't wait to get away from this place and this cold hearted man next door.
Now i am forced to find another way to keep this program alive for the children yet again.
