Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Social programs can only do so much. I volunteer a couple times a month for a senior's legal clinic and the issue of "no money" is a very common issue. It's sad to see and the safety nets that are out there are often difficult to get and the fact is, sometimes these older folks are not able to complete the tasks to even get on the lists and sometimes, the lists are so long, they are dead and gone before getting help.
I have also done Meals on Wheels for many years and most of those clients are older folks. A large percentage of these folks live a life that is NOT enviable for most of us in this country.
The sad fact is that our society has adopted "out of sight, out of mind" when it comes to this population...very similar to the increasing homeless population.
I could keep going, but we don't need Porky coming around.
