Reaching out Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (NY) - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 Author: DC, Cynthia Benjamin, Staff Doctors and other medical staff volunteer time to treat patients
BY STAFF WRITER
CYNTHIA BENJAMIN
Corey Hughes ‘ thyroid gland was bothering him - again. He needed medical attention, but had no money to get it. Hughes , 33, a computer programmer who lives in Rochester, has no steady job, no health insurance, no doctor.
So, when Dr. Carolyn Mok examined him June 2 at Mercy Outreach Center on Webster Avenue, not only did Hughes get necessary treatment for his thyroid condition, he also took comfort in something else: the service was free.

Thank you!
Going back to your post #44. This is a simple parking ticket, correct? Henrietta requested a hearing, represented herself, and got the charge dropped.
(Does she know the system, or what? Didn’t she also draw up that quitclaim deed?)

End of Case Detail Information
a local organization is coming forward saying Hughes isn’t being honest about how much help she’s had in the past.
The director of We Care Outreach Ministry, Tanya Johnson, says just last month she offered Henrietta Hughes permanent housing and a place to stay free for three months, but Hughes refused.
“We would have allowed her to stay for the first 90 days, no income. You know free,” said Tanya Johnson.
We Care Outreach Ministry is a faith based organization in Fort Myers.
Johnson says she also gave Henrietta and her son Corey, money, food and offered Corey job training courses, but it was refused.
“We have extended a lot of her services to her,” Johnson said.
The disability check Hughes gets is a little more than $800 a month.
Hughes owes money on a loan, has her car insurance payment, a monthly storage bill and says she couldn’t afford the rent.

Received assistance from We Care Ministry.
Hmmm .... the facts are starting to come out.
Do I have this correct? The place to stay and training courses were refused, but money and food accepted!?
Sound like hustlers, IMO.
Yes, you have it right!
Their names appear to come up listed as “owner(s)” on three distinct public housing units going back as far as 1983 - one in Georgia and two in Florida. As to reports she was living with “friends” in New York, that appears to be the home of her parents.

property records in Lee County, Fla. discovered two people, Henrietta C. Hughes and Corey L. Hughes (son), possessed the wherewithal to pay off a six-figure mortgage in less than two years
On Oct. 29, 2001, Henrietta C. Hughes and her son, Corey L. Hughes, took on a $124,400 mortgage;
On Oct. 16, 2003, Henrietta C. Hughes and her son, Corey L. Hughes, paid off that mortgage as evidenced by the filing of a satisfaction document; and
On Aug. 9, 2006, Henrietta C. Hughes filed a Quit Claim Deed that effectively turned over all rights to the paid-off an adjacent piece of property listed in the documents above to her son, Corey L. Hughes.

on Tuesday when Henrietta told President Obama there’s no help for her and she has no place to go, Tanya Johnson got angry.
“It gives me a little sour stomach. Because we stretched our hands out to her,” said Johnson. “We have people here in Lee County that just are plain old system workers and know how to work the system. And I feel that’s where Henrietta is now in terms of working the system.
Yep, we’ve got those.
I’m willing to bet she’s used some alias’, and phony DOB’s and SS#’s, maybe. JMO
Hughes wanted the American dream! But at age 28 the dream was put on hold. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a mastectomy. It would be the first of many health hurdles.
Over the years she would battle cancer several more times.
“That’s when he gave me up to die. There was no hope,” she said.
Hope had run out. She says she became disabled. Eventually she and her son lost their Lehigh Acres home.
“He lost his job so we had to give the house back to the bank,” Hughes said.
That was in 2003. Since then they have lived in a truck.
Henrietta says help from the Government turned out to be a dead end.
“I get a referral from this person that person until there was no more referrals to go.”
Henrietta does have family living in Fort Myers. We asked why she doesn’t stay with them. She said she didn’t want to discuss it.
Four in Your Corner’s Tyisha Fernandes talked to a volunteer named Tanya Johnson at the agency called ‘We Care Outreach Ministries’.
Fernandes said to Johnson, “I just don’t understand why a homeless person wouldn’t take housing”.
“That I really don’t know, but it was offered to her and she did stay in our facility and we have also put her up in a hotel, her and her son,” said Johnson.
“So when you heard her tell the president that she was homeless, what did you think? When you knew that you offered her services?” asked Fernandes.
Johnson answered, “Hmm, what did I think? Just that maybe the help that we had given her wasn’t enough and she was probably looking for more services.”

That story is quite different than her original.
Won’t stay with family. Yep, there’s more there.
Keep em coming.

It doesn’t make sense. Why fight a parking ticket?
Why a judical warning? Lady did you park there or not? Unless she poor mouthed to the judge and he bought it as well.

Corey still owns the undeveloped lot at 1011 Hibiscus. He paid taxes of $243.03 on 1/5/2009. His address is listed as being in Hummelstown, PA
For many years it appears the only work Henrietta has done was to work the system.
Team 0 has been out scammed, it seems.
State Representative Nick Thompson needs to do his homework. Maybe he has but doesn’t want to lose his status as good samaritan.
