Thank you so much for sharing your story. L...Lisa,<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your story. Let me be the first to say that I am so sorry you are going through this but please know you aren't alone 82% of the receptients of fro are not getting a single penny and FRO is doing nothing to enforce consequence. It's the governments fault and the lack of funding and the proof is on the statistics. 2 billion dollars in arrears owing in Ontario alone. 3.5 billion in cananda and 2 billion of that is in our own province. Do people really not see the issue here. It is mind boggling. On my cbc interview I talk a lot about the lack of support that is in place for us as single parents and the fact that these are our children and future generation suffering living in poverty. How the hell don't people see that it is all about the God damn children. I swear on everything I have that I will do anything and everything in my power to raise awareness and make a difference in this province. Trust me when I say that this group and soon to be organization will grow and expand and we will be so strong and powerful that we will come together and stand up to the higher powers in Ontario and fight for what we deserve but more importantly what our children deserve. The system is corrupt and I will make a point to let everyone in on their secrets. <br /><br />I am so glad you are on bored. You have my details on facebook so let's connect. <br /><br />I hope that one day you will get justice but more so I hope your children get what they deserve. Keep being an amazing mother!

Every day is a con...This topic I know all too well. Every day is a continuous struggle. I've had my share of ongoing frustrations being a recipient (well trying to be) of FRO. Since 2012 they have unsuccessfully been trying to collect an arrears of 30k. Since my case has been given to them they have collected $51.24 for my two children (GST Rebate in 2013) Since May 2013 i have received $0 and no enforcement's are being enforced because their "father" is protected by section 7 (social Assistance) while he works for cash and flaunts it on Facebook. I'm beyond frustrated and something HAS TO BE DONE!!! What makes this even more frustrating is FRO is no help. My case worker even hung up on me once for asking if they are going to reopen my case cause i haven't seen any money since it was brought to them. Her response was appalling and downright unacceptable. I reached out to the minister of social services and received no response nor feedback. I turned to social media to get her attention with a tweet asking / begging for HELP including our mayor our mayoral candidates and even the media and received NO RESPONSE from anyone to date. It sickens me that i pay taxes and pay for the services that i desperately need and NOONE can help me but they can help him?? Help him hide from his obligations of financial support? Its been Three years since we've seen him and over 5 years since we had any financial support. I cant even find housing as i have been on the list for over 5 years. I tried to buy a house and cant even get a mortgage for more than 100k as a single mother.. im trying to help myself but the system is making it almost impossible. When i look around seems more like the better i do the more i struggle. Story of my life. Being a single mother is the most hardest thing in the world.To your kids your a hero but when you look in the mirror and open your overflowing bills you sure don't feel that way. I've been looking everywhere for Organizations like this and i will make it my goal to support this in anyway I can. Looking forward to support groups and resources in the near future.
