Roxborough Church - 5245 Ridge Avenue

How does it look when a pastor blocks you? (Edited to add Sunday 4/19/26 that the Roxborough church blocked me too. Keep going pastor Ray, this is definitely not how the pastor is supposed to act. Scroll through my page and you’ll see what I’m talking about.) Pastor Ray Garcia (The Philadelphia Project) blocked me. Not just the business page but on his personal page too. Yep a pastor blocked a mom who’s documenting unsafe housing conditions for her family. Pastor Ray Garcia came up to me and told me he is the one who blocked me on social media on The Philadelphia Project page last Tuesday 4/14/26). His explanation was basically that they “do good work in the community.” Okay… then answer this … What kind of pastor blocks a family asking for help instead of asking for the facts?!? Because if you care about truth, you don’t try to silence the person with the receipts - you review the receipts. Pastor Ray also told me he didn’t even know about our situation until I posted publicly!. That’s crazy considering they’ve been involved with Church In The Yunk since last summer. But here’s the part that doesn’t sit right: - The Philadelphia Project has been partnering with the church that owns our home for months. Pastor Ray says he didn’t know we existed… yet the partnership kept moving forward anyway. And even after being told directly what we’ve been dealing with, he said he’s going to CONTINUE working with them. So let me get this straight…. You didn’t know about the tenants living in the conditions… You “hope it’s not true”… But you still blocked the person documenting it, living in it and you’re still staying partnered. That’s not “community.” That’s PR protection. I’ll say it really loud too. This looks BAD on ALL of you. And AGAIN… just so nobody tries to twist this some more… We did NOT go public for negative attention. We went public because we have been IGNORED for months, and we are STILL dealing with unresolved safety issues. We have emails, photos, and videos- because we’re the ones living inside these walls, not the people controlling the narrative. “You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16) Fruit isn’t speeches. Fruit is outcomes. Blocking a family doesn’t look like fruit. It looks like avoidance. “To do justice and righteousness is more acceptable than sacrifice.” (Proverbs 21:3) Don’t preach “good works” while ignoring the people standing in front of you asking for accountability. So I’ll ask again, publicly and respectfully… Pastor Ray Garcia - what kind of “pastor” BLOCKS someone bringing forward legitimate safety concerns instead of HELPING get them addressed? Because I’m not here for speeches. I’m here for my kids to be safe like I told you face to face, for real repairs to be done, and the truth to come to light because God wouldn’t be ok with this behavior. Not from ANY of you involved. Psalm 37 reminds me not to panic when people do wrong -because wrong doesn’t win forever. And Isaiah 10:1–2 “Woe to those who make unjust laws… to deprive the poor of their rights…” Straight up God calls out people who use systems and paperwork to hurt or silence vulnerable people like us. When people try to use process, narratives, or ‘official wording’ to make it look like a suffering family is the problem - that’s exactly what this verse is talking about Pastor Ray. So here’s my closing statement…. this isn’t a misunderstanding, and it isn’t “tenant drama.” This is a documented pattern of delay, deflection, and narrative-flipping while children live inside the consequences. Scripture says we’ll know people by their fruit - and the fruit here is fear, instability, and ongoing unresolved hazards. I’m not asking for speeches. I’m asking for truth, accountability, and a safe home. And until that happens, I will keep documenting - calmly, factually, and publicly - because “love thy neighbor” isn’t a slogan, it’s a standard. Do better Pastor. I was raised in a church and within religion. I’m not a fool. You don’t get to try to dodge this…. Some Gross behavior from a pastor though. SMH….

The most welcoming church I’ve been a part of! It’s a neighborhood church that preaches the gospel and serves their community.
