STARVE AN ELDER...FEED A DIRECTOR
While the directors still have their fat food budget and overcompensated and unearned salaries, there are starving Elders in our tribe.
One such Elder is a 92 year old lady who is very frail and in constant pain from her arthritis. She is a tiny little thing who still has every wit she ever possessed. I could probably pick her up and carry her around if necessary but she is independent and not ready to give in to her pain and aging.
As a member of the Sault Tribe one would think that the Elders...especially the Eldest of the Elders would receive just a little consideration and a little scrap of dignity and respect from the Meals on Wheels program that is there to see that they get a good meal every day. Any person with a soul and a good heart would not want to see an ederly 92 year old tiny lady who cannot fend for herself starve to death.
It is a good thing that this lady has a loving and caring niece and nephew, the last of her living relatives, to look out for her or I hate to say that she would starve to death since she cannot prepare her own food let alone go out and shop for herself.
Do you want to know what the Sault Tribe Meals on Wheels brought her for lunch the other day?
A piece of bologna and cheese was all, it seems, that they could afford to feed her. Today they did not even show up!!!
So while our overpaid directors are wallowing in their fat salaries and living high on the hog, our Elders are left to starve. How many like this 92 year old Elder were waiting for their Sault Tribe provided meal today...and yesterday and maybe tomorrow that will not arrive? How many of those who rely on the Sault Tribe Meals on Wheels for their food do not have anyone else to call?
How many do not have access to a phone to call and say "I'm starving, please bring food."
If things are so bad that the sick and elderly are being left to starve then why the hell are we still paying $67,000.00 plus benefits to directors that would cut off the elders food before they gave up a lousy penny of their fat paychecks? I have never been more disgusted with the Sault Tribe than I am now. Check on your elders and disabled ASAP because the Sault Tribe has failed them more than ever before by letting them starve and not notifying their families that they are not providing that one meal a day.
