Last Friday Margaret Jones Flores showed us her home which she was
forced to move out of because of the squalid conditions. She got assistance
from her Area Representative Boots Martinez. Well Yvonne and Leonard Wade say
they too need help. Unlike Margaret Flores - they are still living in their
home on North Creek Road but they say it is on the verge of collapse and they
need help – which they say their Area Representative Patrick Faber hasn’t
been providing.
Yvonne Wade,
“The most important thing is the step, I will show you the siding 
of the bathroom. The kitchen, look how the kitchen is leaning on one side. Woodlice
eat out the house. If woodlice never eat out the house I wouldn’t have
gone with him you understand. The whole house woodlice eat. This is my daughter’s
house and that is my one. The whole house, all the sewage, the bathroom –
everything, you sit down on the toilet and you don’t feel safe cause the
floor the sink in at the bottom. The toilet drop in and everything, everything.
I can’t do betta. I nuh have no money. If I had anybody to help me
and thing, you think I would live in this condition. He does work and thing
but he can’t see now. He can’t see. We need help. The man says he
will help we and he nuh the help we yet. When they want to get in power they
tell you everything and when they get in power they don’t remember poor
people again.”
Leonard Wade,
“I voted for him and this is what he did and then he told me the last
time, my wife had a little saloon and he said I will help and up to now nothing
yet.”
We couldn’t reach Collet Area Representative Patrick Faber for
comment on this subject, but an official at his constituency office told us
that applications for home improvement loans are still being processed. She
told us two batches of applications have already been approved and distributed
and they are awaiting a third batch. She says it may be only a matter of time
before the wades receive their grants. That is however only if it was approved
by the oversight committee.
