A very long story short; I've come down to Hutchinson Ks to help my grandmother with renovations in our family owned apartments. The previous year I had her buy out all of my stock because of FAFSA issues. We agreed via email I'd make 5$/hr rather than the usual 10$/hr credit given to tenants to cover rent and I'd earn the remainder. However, recently she refused to listen to me about the progress of the work (in this case putting in a patio and making sure the patio has proper grade for drainage on a commercial property) then she began to berate for contradicting her. She began to call me names, told me I was a child who should be seen and not heard etc. Then she failed to accept the itemized notice of total work completed and the amount of money she owed me already
(I already banked on you not keeping your promise of sending me to the UK, I also figured you weren't going to pay me for the work I've done. 79 hours in total you owe me for, +50$ first day interest starting today.
Itemized List: Website Update: 3 hrs+ 7 hrs of Houndig you to get the information, learning the new system and editing code, fixing a java runtime error on the site. (total 10 hours)

She's claiming I only worked 12 hours, that I've been staying in the apartment for "free" and they (my grandmother and aunt) are now trying to evict me because I refuse to do anymore work until she has apologized to me for the cruel things she's said to me, my mother, and my cousin. She is refusing to pay me, my nearest family is over a hundred miles away. I don't own a car and they are refusing to take me back to my home town of Eau Claire Wisconsin.
What more, I've complained several times to her about discriminating against possible tenants because of race, appearance, and age.
For illegally charging 1 and a half times rent for the deposit and the last month's rent in advance. And for spreading libelous fallacious lies about me, both via email and to the tenants.
What do I do?
PS: Please note, I'm down here to save money to go to the UK where I'm supposed to be attending graduate school. My grandmother was supposed to purchase my ticket, but this isn't happening either.
