Prayers For My Son

The rubber has hit the road for our son with his New York life. I feel badly for him and his five roommates who have been scammed in a sublet con. Short version: they are meeting tomorrow with a tenants' rights advocate, but since they are actually living as illegal tenants it is unlikely they will get back the twenty-four hundred dollars each in rents and damage deposits they stand to lose. It is also likely they will all be evicted at the end of this month. As stressed as our son is, he is taking on the role of being the calm voice in the midst of the upset, has set up the advocacy meetings and arranged a tenants' meeting after that. The actual landlord of the building has been mostly absentee, arriving at the building very unexpectedly and unannounced at the building on the weekend and discovered the scam her one paying tenant was perpetrating. I have been through similar upheavals in my own life so hope I was able to encourage my son when he called me today. God is good. He will get our son through this rough patch, as he has gotten him through so many others. If you have a heart for it, thank you for your prayers about this situation.
