I know of a man that lived with his fiance’ in a home that they rented in another state. The relationship was not working out for him and while he was trying to salvage the relationship the home went up in flames with him in it, the others escaped fine. He was burned 65-75% of his body. He was in a coma for just over one month and he went through 4 surgeries for skin grafting. He had to re-learn how to walk again and laid curled up in a hospital bed for over eight months ending in a nursing home. One year and eight months later he still has open wounds and has chronic pain. While the man laid in his coma, his fiance’ cleaned him out of his insurance, money and belongings and furnishings that survived and a motor vehicle.
Unfortunately for him their was no recourse available because everything was jointly established. Although she did not work during their entire period of their relationship nor did she contribute to the bills they still put all in joint accounts for the most part. It was found out by him that while he was in the coma she was in bed with other men, no doubt looking for her next victim. When he first was brought out of the coma she visited and even stayed for like 3 or 4 days on the first visit and about 3 on the next, he was in a hospital over three hours drive away from where they had been living. She actually helped in him re-learning how to walk, however, during that last visit he discovered text messages on her cell phone which then he knew of her escapades. They talked a few times by telephone but the calls were growing further apart. He was moved to a location that was only 15 minutes were their supposed new house that she picked out for them was located. She led him to believe that he would be going back son as he was released. She didn’t visit and the phone calls stopped after he had asked her to take money from his account and go and buy him some clothes. He never heard from her again.
It happens all too often. Those that need help from a governmental agency get brushed off. While the government doesn’t look to be at fault in this case, all too often they are. Those in need are placed in inferior apartments, rooms and housing units. The problem starts with the agency and that’s why I am referring to them first. The agencies that are responsible for the placement of those in need all too often only give the client/applicant a choice of selecting the least of the worst, if available and if approved of by landlord. The agency that is responsible for this is normally called The Board of Social Services. I have been to many meetings with clients that have applied to some of these agencies. The housing lists are often outdated with wrong information and the social worker’s themselves even misdirect the client. The worker’s are often overworked with too many cases and that leads to bad attitudes. In being in at least a dozen meetings I have found but one social worker that had an attitude of care and concern toward the client/applicant. Generally speaking, people that grow up wanting to be a social worker have an a good caring disposition toward those in need, however after a couple years of working the system that all changes. I am not saying in all cases, probably just most. It is understandable if you see the workload and the type of people that they have to deal with each day. I believe that they should think about that before getting into that field of work because it’s those type of people that need the help, and it’s that overworked agency that has no funds that is going to overwork them. If they don’t like it, they should get out.
