THE STRUGGLE OF MY LIFE HAS CREATED EMPATHY WITH THE PAIN AND
CONDEMNED ME TO LIVE WITH IT.
This
year 2024 the pain caused by the loss of my 38-year-old son has consumed me
further into the abyss of loneliness and homelessness from which I have not
been able to escape. In the darkness of my misery all I can do is grieve my
beloved son, feeling obligated to retain my sight to see my miserable world.
Missing
my son for the rest of my life is the worst pain I won't be able to overcome.
His sudden and unexpected departure has left me with a terrible sense of loss.
His memories warm me inside, but they also tear me apart. I feel as if my heart
has been ripped from my chest, leaving me trapped in a never-ending cycle of
sorrow.
I
feel like I've been thrown into an underground vault in the same way as my son.
We were both buried, he in death and I in life. My grief doesn’t speak, and sometimes I feel living in the shadow of my death.

THE CELEBRATION
OF HALLOWEEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL TO ME, THIS HAS MADE ME RETURN TO MY PAGES
TO SHARE THIS EVENT THAT HOLDS UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES.
JUNE 2024 POST
STARTING THIS JUNE, I WILL PAUSE
THE MONTHLY PUBLICATION OF MY MISERIES, WHICH HAVE BEEN INSEPARABLE FROM MY
LIFE... MY BLOGS WILL HAVE A TEMPORARY RECESS.
Since June 2012 my web pages have been an open book
where I have expressed the misery and injustice that Bank of America and the
man with whom I shared part of my life condemned me to live.
As I have so many chapters overflowing with misery that it
does not seem to end, I am going to reserve the next misfortunes that will come
for the remainder of the year 2024. This silence will also prevent the veracity of my stories
from being used falsely to defame my personal life in court. In 2025 I will
continue to share these overwhelming experiences with my followers, if I can't
edit them someone will do it for me.
My time in New York has left an unforgettable and painful
mark on my mind and body. My feet are leaving a footprint of suffering due to
the thorny path that I had to travel and barely allows me to walk. Once my
medical condition improves, I will resume my protests to Bank of America.
Despite the difficulties I have had in the shelters, I will always be grateful
to New York City for allowing me to have a roof over my head.
MAY 2024 POST
IN THIS MONTH OF MAY I HAD STRONG
MIXED EMOTIONS THAT MADE THIS BLOG REVEAL SOMETHING OF MY PASSIONS AND PERSONAL
CONCEPTS PERHAPS ABSURD…IN MY NEW DWELLING, I'VE FOUND GOOD PEOPLE AS WELL AS NASTY.
On May 12, 2024, Mother's Day, someone from the
shelter gave me a flower with so much feeling that I couldn't refuse it. This
employee touched my heart with an unexpected detail that, due to the misery in
which I live, moved my soul. I don't like gifts of natural flowers, to me, this
is the same gift for those who are born and for those who die, for me it is
covering life and death with the same shroud.
I'm fascinated by skeletons, I can see an image of life and
death in the same way, though I'll never be able to see my bones. It reminds me
that death doesn't push life away, it's a part of it. I was very impressed to
meet Julio Diaz and his rag doll LUPITA. He makes his living by dancing daily
with a skeleton. He created this doll to share his life with her and live off
the smiles and donations that people give him. He has been at the 42nd Street
train station in Times Square for many years. See video https://youtu.be/AgA7g91OyOQ
In my new shelter I started with a horrible experience with
a roommate. I tolerated this situation for two weeks in fear of giving the new
shelter an image of a complaining person. The same night I was admitted, when I
went to use the bathroom, the toilet had a lot of paper. After using it and trying to flush the
toilet, it was clogged. Someone lent me a toilet plunger. I spent half an hour
trying to unclog but was unsuccessful. I called my roommate, and she told me to
use the basement bathroom. This problem was very embarrassing to me. The next
day, the maintenance people fixed it.
Three days later I found an adult diaper inside the toilet, I
called my roommate and asked her to take it out to prevent the toilet from
clogging again. She replied that it wasn't a problem and with her foot flushed
the toilet. She told me that she didn't touch anything because she had a phobia
of germs. She used a plastic bag on one hand and feet to do everything. The
loud bang of kicking in the door when it closes was very outrageous and scared
me. When I asked her to be considerate at night because the knocks woke me up,
she suggested that I ask for a change of room because she wasn't going to
change. I did it and I was moved to another dormitory.
Also, this month I was hit by a family tragedy in great need
of emotional and financial support. My miserable life doesn't allow me to
contribute much more than I would like.
APRIL 2024 POST
I’M NOT LIVING IN THE SAMARITAN VILLAGE
SHELTER; I'M DYING THERE, AND NO ONE CARES... A ROOMMATE’S HARASSMENT MADE ME
FILE A POLICE REPORT. I MUST RUN AWAY TO AVOID THIS WOMAN WHILE SHE ENJOYS HER
SOCIAL LIFE FREELY…. THE SPRAYS THAT ROOMMATES SPREAD AT NIGHT HAVE WORSE MY
SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND I HAVE BEEN IN A HOSPITAL BY EMERGENCY.
In December 2023 a new roommate joined the
dorm. I tried to avoid her friendship when I noticed she is a boisterous and
intrusive person in my life and on other roommates to control the group. Every
night she brings the gossip she collects during the day to tell out loud
without caring about the people who are sleeping or resting. On February 3, 2024, she walked by my bed and
tapped me on the shoulder in a derogatory manner saying: stop being
mean.
On March 6, 2024, this woman came up to me saying
that the umbrella I had drying on the floor was hers. The previous Saturday was
a rainy day and security did not allow wet umbrellas to enter. We had to leave
them at the entrance of the building inside a trash can. There was a lot of
confusion because some umbrellas were lost. This day she told me that security
had told her that a short Hispanic woman had grabbed her umbrella and she
assumed it was me. The argument ended in her going to ask the director of the
shelter to check the cameras and if it was me, I had to give her the umbrella.
I waited for the outcome of the investigation and never heard back. On March 15, 2024, this woman came up to me to kiss
my head. This action was offensive to me, but I refrained from complaining to
her because she was drunk.
On April 2, 2024, I was concentrating on the computer
when suddenly this woman came up to me to grab my head and kiss me, I got
scared and answered her with a scream. My rejection made her laugh out loud and
then she kissed me again. This act was shocking to me, she wanted to gain my
friendship by hook or by crook. On April 7, 2024, when I entered the room after
showering, she greeted me and when I didn't answer her, she reprimanded me for
not talking to her and told me that if I wanted to be a bitch, she would be a
worse bitch. Her attitude terrified me, and I decided to report her to the
social worker.
This woman is always aware of my movements, especially in
the morning when I go to the cafeteria for breakfast. On April 11, 2024,
I sat at one of the tables where there was another resident with whom we have
only exchanged greetings. The stalker roommate sat on my left side and watched
me from there. Around 7:45 a.m. I left the cafeteria, and she did too. While I
was waiting for the elevator, this woman stood behind me. I went back to the
cafeteria nervous and told the resident that I was going to wait for a roommate
to come out of the basement because I felt persecuted by her. The resident got
up from her chair and looked through a glass in the door to see who it was. She
was surprised and told me that she knew who she was and that I must be the
person she talks about so much because she thinks I stole an umbrella from her.
The moment I went back to the cafeteria, the harassing woman did too.
The sprays that some of my roommates spread before bedtime
or in the early hours of the morning have caused me a lot of harm. The room has
no ventilation, and I get shortness of breath. The inhalation symptoms worsened
after the aftermath of COVID-19 in 2020. On January 2, 2024, a roommate
sprayed Lysol very close to me and I had a severe reaction. I spent a lot of
time in the bathroom trying to breathe and vomited white foam. I reported this
incident, but no one from the shelter acted. On April 12, 2024, two
roommates I begged not to spray at bedtime, did it in large amounts. They say
that the spray kills bacteria and eliminates bad odors. I felt terrible to the
point that I had to go by emergency to the hospital.


On April 15, 2024, I met with a social worker and the
assistant director because they asked me to file a police report due to the
harassment complaint I wrote. That day the director told me to pack my
belongings and wait for a transfer to another shelter. Because of the wait for the transfer, I must be
close to the shelter, I have spent long hours sitting on a bench in the street
with a view of the neighboring cemetery or walking 10 minutes to go to a
McDonald's and then to a nearby library. I can't eat breakfast at the shelter
and must avoid any encounters with my stalker.
On April 27, 2024, finally, the request I
made to the Department of Homeless Services on January 31, 2024, to be transferred
to another facility, was granted. Now a new Journey in another shelter
begins. All I want the most is to leave this place for an apartment and be able
to have the privacy and freedom that I lost a long time ago.

…MY UNTOLD PRIVATE LIFE IS PART OF THE TRIO OF MY
MISERABLE KILLERS
AN ADVANCE OF MARCH POST
I WOULD RATHER DIE UNDER A BRIDGE AS THE
MOST MISERABLE OF INDIGENTS, THAN LIVE AS A LOST GHOST HUMILIATED BY THE
WICKEDNESS OF THE PEOPLE OF SAMARITAN VILLAGE SHELTER. 3-23-24
My body, with its medical conditions,
is about to give up and collapse on me. I'm exhausted, spending my days on the
street, going to a shelter to sleep for a few hours is a killing process that
takes my life away. I am trapped in a building ignored by its administrators,
who have ignored my request to move to another shelter. I have sent several
emails to New York City agencies asking for help and have not received any
response.
On March 10, 2024, an
ambulance came to pick me up and took me to the hospital. I had severe symptoms
of the flu. Since I didn't have any communication with the shelter managers nor
did I have a doctor's letter for a pass to stay in the room, the next day I had
to take 3 buses to go to my storage so I could recover. I am still sick with
severe coughing. The sprays that roommates put in the room to get away the bad
odor from other roommates worsen the shortness of breath left by Covid-19 in
2020.
To this day I continue to be ignored,
my documents have not been corrected, and no one at the shelter cares about my
mental and physical deterioration.
FEBRUARY 2024 POST
IF GOD HASN'T TAKEN MY LIFE
YET, I DON'T WANT THE WICKEDNESS OF THE PEOPLE AROUND ME TO HASTEN MY DEATH,
I'D RATHER DO IT MYSELF

I have no words to describe so much
misery that I have experienced this month of February. The people who run the SAMARITAN
VILLAGE shelter where I spend my nights destroyed the possibility of
renting an apartment after many efforts to contact brokers. They have
questioned the legitimacy of my documents due to a $28.20 income
increase I had for the year 2024. Since I've been at the
shelter, the Social Worker never checks my documents, and they did so when the
broker realized they needed to be updated. My mental and physical health is
deteriorating more and more every day, and no one cares. My room has 10 occupants,
and we must leave from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. It is difficult to sleep because of
people's different lifestyles and habits. At 11 p.m. a supervisor comes to sign
for the bed. No matter the bad weather or being sick, we can't stay in the
rooms. On February 17, 2024, I felt sick with the discomfort of the flu, with a
lot of coughing. The social worker asked me if I wanted her to call an
ambulance.
The director always refuses to listen to
me, saying that I should talk to her employees first before I talk to her. This
situation is frustrating for me because her employers send me to the social worker,
and she forgets things or doesn't know or doesn't have time for me. In December
2023, to get a pass to spend Christmas outside the shelter, the social worker
would tell me to remember her later and I did so repeatedly for more than two
weeks. Other times she would send me to the director and the director would
send me back to the social worker. On December 24, another resident informed me
that they were giving out Christmas passes.
The shelter is a new building run by
inexperienced people with residents over the age of 55. It's like a prison,
although it has open doors and an 11 pm curfew. We must record the time of
entry and exit and go through security and detector machines. Despite so many
rules and warnings, there are fights and the police come frequently. I'm asking
for a transfer to another place, but my request has been ignored. Only
people who misbehave are sent to another shelter, I'm about to be like one of
them.

PLEASE SEE VIDEO PROFESSIONAL LIFE: https://youtu.be/iIGKebThVj8
The year 2024 makes me revive the 44 years since I began my
professional life in the United States. This video is a journey of experiences
that drown in the misery that Banco de América forced me to live with an unfair
dismissal. From 1987 to 2008 I was a dedicated employee and proud to bring the
Halloween’s spirit to the bank. My married life was part of my commitment to
the bank, my children grew up participating in the events of United Jersey
Bank, Fleet Bank, Summit Bank that later merged with BANK OF AMERICA.
During the time of my lawsuit against Bank of America for medical
discrimination, I tried to rebuild my professional life by working for TD
Bank. Bank of America’s lawyers
forced me to tell them where I worked, assuring the judge that they would not
involve my new job. In a deceitful and dishonest act, they did it and I had to
resign from TD bank.
I've given so much of myself and lost almost everything,
including my married name GUTIERREZ. THANK YOU FOR WALKING INTO MY
MEMORIES.
I STARTED THIS 2024 WITH AN
UNJUST BAN AT THE PLACE THAT PROVIDES ME WITH A ROOF OVER MY HEAD, THIS HAS PUT
ME IN A DESPERATE EMOTIONAL STATE... THE GREED AND STINGINESS OF EXTRASPACE’ S
STORAGE FORCED ME TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE.
MY LIFE IN A SHELTER BECOMES AS MISERABLE AS MYLIFE ON
THE STREET.
On
January 18, 2024, a supervisor opened my locker in my absence and took 6
bottles of Ensure without telling me the reason for removing it. This
nutrient shake is vital to my diet. Because a 6-pack of ensure Plus with fiber
is very expensive and the vanilla flavor is hard to find, I usually buy them by
the box of 24 bottles, sometimes paying $70.00. The low temperatures of the
week of January 15 did not allow me to look for a box and I had to buy the
six-pack.



The
next day I spoke with the director of SAMARITAN VILLAGE about the removal of my
ensure, having her permission to store it since October 26, 2023, when I
arrived at the shelter. The director informed me that had changed its mind
because other residents were violating the rule of not eating in the rooms. I
was asked to bring a letter from the doctor showing that I needed the ensure.
As this product is available for free sale in pharmacies, supermarkets, bodegas
etc. I don't think it's necessary to go to a doctor to have the bottles with
me. Every day I carry a bottle to drink on the street where I spend most of my
time. I don't consume it inside the shelter. My tearful plea to have the ensure
was denied.
This ban has been very traumatic
for me because the ensure has been essential to me since 2012 when I moved to
New York living in rooms where I was not allowed to cook. Not being able to keep the Ensure
has a tremendous impact on my daily life, and I'm struggling not to fall into
depression when crying overwhelms me. The only place I can store it is in my
storage. It takes 3 buses to get there, and it's difficult for me to go every
day due to my medical condition.
*****
The
excessive increase of the rent by my storage at Extra Space/ Life storage in New
York forces me to move out. In July 2022 I started paying $188.00 for a
5x10 unit. In March 2023 the rent was increased to 214.00. In January
2024 to $ 226.00. I received a note informing me that after February
2024 the rent will be increased to $306.00. I asked the manager why
the online prices are too low, and they told me it's to attract customers and
then they raise the prices, and they could pay more than they raised me.

ExtraSpace units are not worth
the rental prices. The storage at 2036 Webster Ave, Bronx is unsafe.
The unit has an easy-to-cut mesh roof and people can jump to the next unit to
steal. Last year 5 units were stolen this way. There is no heating, during low
temperatures the cold inside is equal to the cold outside. Above my unit is an
air conditioner that is used as a fan and blows very cold air on me. The only
outlet where customers can charge their phone is locked with a key, as are the
carts.
