MAY I HAVE YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION PLEASE....this is guaranteed to make you feel a number of things....coming in at NUMBER 1 would be EXTREME EMESIS which is informally know as throwing up as in VOMITING...!!! and then one would be feeling aghast, dismayed, disgusted, dizzy, frustrated and even angry with our PROVINCIAL and MUNICIPAL governments....for the follow reason which I will outline for you all below.... WE have all heard how our population is aging correct...??? and how very much and hard the government is working to keep people in their own homes...(emphasis on working hard) well this just might OPEN YOUR EYES to how it is all designed to operate....here we go and this information is from a Case Manager by the name of LEEZA over at our local C.C.A.C. (808-345-7339) via telcon this morning at 9 a.m., in order to qualify for assistance you as a client need to have help from an outside source with your personal grooming ( bathing, dressing yourself) and for that you can receive a MAXIMUM of 16 HOURS per week in assistance....THAT'S ALL FOLKS....it does not seem to matter whether or not you can cook and feed yourself...or clean your living space....NOPE for help with that you must hire outside services and pay for same out of your pocket....even those on meager government pensions cannot get any relief from these costs....one must pay for example "MEALS on WHEELS" to bring them food....(please note I am not stating that Meals on Wheels is not a good program what so ever)....but what about those people out there who cannot afford the cost....where does that leave them...??? I am going to bring this to the attention of our local M.P.P.s Michael Gravelle and Bill Mauro because this needs a serious look over and major changes in policy in this guys opinion....as well I will make our municipal politicians aware of this scenario....NOTE every individual retired person living in this city has a good healthy monthly company pension to fall back on....and these people are falling through the cracks in the present day system. We can spend all kinds of MILLIONS and MILLIONS of DOLLARS on twinning the highways across Northwestern Ontario....and our Municipal leaders are presently looking at spending $100 Million Dollars on a new Multi-Plex and another $25 Million Dollars on an Art Gallery and all along this kind of situation is happening right here in their own back yards....I say they must address the burning situations here first and foremost....so I ask you all, what is it that you have to say about this subject matter...??? Hey this could be you in a few more years....so if you agree this needs to be addressed....then please post a comment and then share this post with your Face Book family....and Play It Forward while I contact those who I feel need to be asked the oh so important question of...."WHY is this being allowed to HAPPEN"...??? Thanks again for lending me your ear as the saying goes and have a great day and HELP your fellow man out today....if the spirit moves you to do so....it will do you good.:)
