ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- A Clay County woman said the acts of the vandals who spray painted hateful words on her newly purchased home were just “evil.”

In black spray paint, someone wrote "US taxpayers are tired of helping” on the front of her Argyle Forest home. There's a bad word written on the front door, and along the side it simply says “work.”

Whoever did vandalized the home even spray painted the sidewalk. Beardsley said it's not about where the graffiti is, but what it said.

"No, it's not like someone came and beat me up, but it was like a punch in the gut," said Beardsley.

Beardsley thinks she was targeted because she bought the home with help from a government run nonprofit agency called the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. She'll make the payments and pay the taxes like any other homeowner. The program is helping her with the down payment.

Beardsley said what the graffiti artists don't know is, she has a job. She works with disabled children and also takes care of her own sons, both of whom are autistic.

"Not only do I have a job, but I do my job very well,” said Beardsley. “Last year I was employee of the year."

The home had just been painted and it was almost ready for Beardsley and her boys to move in. Beardsley hopes it will be ready in time for Christmas and she hopes whoever vandalized her home is caught.
