INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF URBAN EVANGELISM UNDER SIEGE 

American w/Disabilities Act Protects us from more than restrictive sidewalks, Government Buildings w/out access, and Buses w/no lifts.

ADA, Good to Know. 

World Wide, we - those facing emotional or physical challenges are 650 Million strong.

In America, we are Lawyers, Doctors, Governors, University Presidents and moving in all walks of life. In Buffalo the City of Refuge and Empowerment is determined to break new ground in self determination and actualization.

We have identified two service gaps at crisis levels in our City. First the Sibling Foster Care Crisis and Second being emerging therapies for Autism, Asperger Syndrome and PDD out of the reach of those with our the funds in our city.

Controlling four properties at corner of Plymouth Ave and Hampshire St. in Buffalo we are confronted by broken promises and predators determined to block our path. Monday October 29, 2012 the last piece of the grand design namely 152 Hampshire St Lost Oct. 21, 2008 by "Owner" of Record In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and to date the Bank instructed to bring foreclosure to the party whom has just lost it in this judgment has taken no action.

So you have to wonder how can the bank move against the party whom is only an owner on paper and not in fact. At the juncture that "Owner" moved out of the property we spoke and agreed the property adjacent the empty lot would be sold to us and later in a notarized letter he consented that we could pay taxes and fees on 152 Hampshire in lien against any who would try to block our endeavor. On strength of these two understandings we have shoveled snow cut grass and kept the premises secure from drug dealers and other safety challenges found in any vacant property, and made payments to City and to County, while failng to keep it off of the Foreclosure List.

For these service our lien stands at now $10,000.00 and we are under threat to loose the site at the foreclosure auction. In violation of the spirit of the Federal Guarantee to Americans with Disabilities. I have sent word to Peter Grubea, John Luhr, Muse Disability Services, the Tom Golisano Foundation. Our Comptroller, and our City Counsel To bring to bear the weight of the law that protects the disabled. Most surely when they are self determined in their independence and self actualization. Noemi Santiago in David Rivera's Office and Douglas Ruffin I am sure will be most happy to know what is the best way to proceed in this matter please share your view.
