NEW BRUNSWICK FAMILY SERVICE TOLD WOMAN- SHE HAS TO BE 3/4 DEAD FOR DISABILITY!!!!

thunbs

The old saying is so true. If he or she has their health?

They shouldn’t complain.

This is surely one of these cases. I first noticed this woman panhandling downtown or the Farmer’s market a few months ago.

She didn’t say much. She didn’t bother the pass-by asking for money.

She just sat silently on her milk cart and never said a word.

After my huge battle with the caretaker at 114 Brunswick Street, I located a place in a Rooming House.

It’s not a bad place. No one bothers me and this is the area a person really hears the sad stories such as this one.

I was surprised to see this individual living in the same building.

Just like the streets, she never said much.

Her name is Aletha and I noticed her once in a while walking very slowly down the hallways.

She’s not the type of individual to say much.

It took a very long while for her to open up and once she said- You could hear her despair of the system.

She was denied permanent disability by Family Services.

She was told that she can only apply for temporary disability every six months.

Therefore, the Lord Government will save a few bucks.

Now? It’s a known fact that Family Services are hunting down every Natives who lives off the reserves.

But now this? New Brunswick Family Services shouldn’t force disable individuals on the streets to panhandle.

Picture 041

This is supposed to be Canada?

She was told by Family Services that she has to be ¾ dead to apply for permanent Disability.

Here’s an email that I received from the caretaker of the building.

Shame shame shame on New Brunswick Family Services.

Here's her story-

e9

Aletha Nowlan is 48 years of age. She could not work for 2 years and was taken off work due to illness.(hip prosthesis, insulin diabetic, depression for many years.

Picture 048

Three pins in right knee, three staples in the left knee) She applied for temporary medical and is receiving $470.00 a month.

She was on the board meeting for full disability and was refused on January 16th 2006.

They did not give her a reason why she was not accepted.

She has been walking with a cane for almost 2 years.

She lives in a boarding house with lots of stairs and has slipped and fell down. She has no ice pic on the cane cause she cannot afford to buy one.

Picture 049

She has to panhandle to help herself buy groceries and transportation to the doctors.

She is definitely a candidate for the full disability, and
has applied for subsidized housing, and has left several messages, and no return of calls.

Picture 050

She has a hard time to get out of bed, and has fallen several
times.

She has slipped and fell in the rooming house with 28 tenants living there( one guy had dropped water on the floor with no apology by him, or trying to help her up) What is wrong with this society?

She is in so much pain and suffering. She has the flu constantly, with a hard time to talk.

I as the Superintendent see her every day pass by my room and
if people could only see her weakness and sadness and deep depression. I beg and pleaded again and again for someone who can help.

There has to be a way to get through to these doctors, and make them realize what kind of shape she is in.

I demand she should be getting the full disability of $595.00. She cannot re apply for 6 months, which was told to her.

I cannot believe she was refused. Help!!!!

Yeah Charlie : This is supposed to be Canada?

Yet the New Brunswick Government could give a Golf Club in Moncton a cool 2-Million, or have people forgotten about that ?

Amazing how Canada can and does give Millions to so-called third world countries, and yet we have some of out people falling through the Cracks.

I can't understand or figure it out, and never will be able to. Some things just aren't right.

Good story Charles, and this is the reason why the government hates your site. Without it they could just keep harping on about how wonderful everything is. Too bad you can't get to the northern part of the province where I'll bet there are even more stories.

Well Charles, You can sure make a story spin. The government should get a hold of this story. This Lady should get some action going. Now which one will be brave enough to help?

I've got it! Ask "Elvy Robichaud" surely he might know someone who can help??

I heard through the grapevine that he even knows the Health Minister?

Maybe he can take care of her case and call it:

"Doing the right thing"
Or even a special favor on the way out the door??

Yea Right!!! Highly Unlikely.

Charlie your doing a fine job!

Charlie:

I was waiting at the Causeway lights after work and happened to look in the yard of the house on the corner of Crown and Union. Across from the old CHSJ bldg.

There on a step stool was an elderly gentleman going through the Dumpster.

You said it. What the He*l is wrong with this country when people are forced to go through garbage bins to survive.

Where is this great booming City that McFarlane is always bragging about.

Saint John, on the move? Yea right! Gimme a break!

Michelle Hooten is tooten for a break on the water rates for Irving! She thinks he can get it elsewhere! DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Aren't you glad she wasn't elected?

Sickening the whole system and how they spin how good things are and how we can all afford to pay more and how dare we question them.

Oh My Goodness Charles!!! I saw this poor lady on the street. She looked so hopeless. As I put money in her container, she said thanks in a real hourse voice. It was cold. I felt so bad for her. Charles can't someone help her. She should not be on the street in her condition. Was she ever married? Does she have children? ???? If I see her I may ask her to come and see me, maybe she doesn't have anyone to talk to. I do not work for HRDC, but somebody soon should step in. She will die , especially in the cold. Lets try and Pray that someone can help. I don't have much money, but it seems that is what is the whole issue here. MONEY and her HEALTH Quick HELP!! Gosh I feel bad.
