"To Our Brothers and Sisters in Need"
by Judy Joy Jones
These words are dedicated to our brothers and sisters across the globe to whom economy is a word never heard.
Their lives are spent silently in pursuit of the very things we take for granted; food shelter and clothing.
May we all join hearts and hands in ushering in the day when homelessness is history and every man woman and child has food shelter clothing and medical care, restoring human dignity.
Going beyond homelessness will come to pass and our nation will be remembered as a great nation because we cared for those unable to care for themselves.
I was just visited by an old friend who was unfortunately jailed three times for crimes that were committed to her. As a result, she was never able to find good work even though she was a very good worker.
She helped me out in my office when no one else would as a caring custodian. She even helped take care of me many times and became a very good caregiver, unable to get a job when her background information was known.
She has had one breast removed recently and has a new set of teeth because she lost hers. She is now 71 and we both worry about whether her Medicaid will continue to provide for her growing medical needs that we all have as we age.
We can make what you wish happen. We just have to have the compassion and political will to change the status quo to what it really should be.
