A moth­er held back tears yes­ter­day, not know­ing where she will call home for her fam­i­ly from to­day.

Cher­ry-Ann Fox re­ceived a court or­der last Thurs­day for her to quit the pri­vate prop­er­ty where she had spent 17 years build­ing her fam­i­ly.

“I liv­ing here too long. I nev­er get no sum­mons or any­thing to come to court and I get­ting all these set of doc­u­ments. And now, they telling me I have un­til the morn­ing to move out my place,” Fox told Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day.

The moth­er of three said that she is even more wor­ried be­cause her 20-year-old son strug­gles with cere­bral pal­sy.

The Las Cuevas fam­i­ly is ex­pect­ed to move out by to­day.

Fox’s hus­band spent the week­end de­mol­ish­ing the phys­i­cal struc­ture of their home. She said they do not want the land’s own­er to ben­e­fit from their years of hard work.

On­ly a sec­tion of their roof re­mained yes­ter­day to en­sure that her son has a cov­er­ing, as he is forced to spend the ma­jor­i­ty of his day on a mat­tress.

Fox’s son, who is bed-rid­den, re­ceives grants from the Min­istry of So­cial De­vel­op­ment and Fam­i­ly Ser­vices but his moth­er said they were in­con­sis­tent.

This nev­er hin­dered Fox and her hus­band from pro­vid­ing and cov­er­ing all her son’s needs. This they did by do­ing weld­ing and paint­ing jobs in the com­mu­ni­ty.

“Right now, in­side my house leak­ing. It come like I have to break my thing. If I ain’t break my thing, it com­ing like them go be end­ing up with my thing,” she said.

“It hard. It come like this was my kids’ fu­ture. What they get­ting now?” Fox emo­tion­al­ly added.

“I want jus­tice.”

Guardian Me­dia con­tact­ed land own­er Unanan Per­sad, who said every­thing he did was above board. He said he pe­ti­tioned the court on the or­der which was grant­ed, re­quir­ing the fam­i­ly to move.
