Terri-Leigh H. Deal of a lifetime - Bought from ailing elderly neighbor
18 June 2023 | 51 replies
When you see an elderly woman with SEVERE health issues that could be eased with proper care (that requires finances), like better diet, not the free once a month package of puddings, canned tuna, cheap bread she was getting, proper medicines for her breast cancer, diabetes and heart failure, and proper amenities - like a walk in shower so she can wash and not be covered head to toe in yeast sores from inaccessibility - You get creative on solutions to help that won’t financially harm your own family.We hired lawyers, arranged for multiple meetings with her church and scheduled realtors and witnesses all to make sure she was fully educated and that everything was legal.I appreciate your concern for a member of the elderly community, truly, but attack messages like these are what happens when you can’t possibly know the full story, including the fact that Miss Kat calls multiple times a week, that she is extremely relieved her home is no longer in danger of catching fire, flooding from damage from Ian everytime it rains and that the city isn’t assigning a social worker because now her doors lock and her home has been cleared of obstacles, trash and hazards.And yes, we’ll benefit in the long run and we’ve run our numbers based on the fact we can carry her for 15years.
