We have all of these outreach programs out there, charity programs, help boards...........This 80 year old man probably isn't anything unusual. Hardly enough money to get by every day and should be in an assisted living home I'm sure, but we tend to turn our backs and ignore, or we see programs on TV to raise money to send to other countries like Africa or Hades, where the money goes straight to that Government and not the people in need after of course the corporate salaries for the charity organizations take 90% off of the top. Why do we turn our backs or simply pass the problem on to the next onlooker? I have lived here all of my life and see that we turn our back on our own people but will raise money for an animals and animal shelter which seems to have more importance than human lives. 80 years old. What stories this old man probaly has, but turning our back is something unacceptable and sadening. I would think 80 years would earn some respect and a little dignity with the time that he still has left. Just a little help shouldn't be much to ask for.
