Hey bloggers today there was a scheduled Pot luck Christmas luncheon at the community room and I spend 3 hours last night preparing my famous potato salad for the function. This year there was a low attendance even the UNH's director couldn't find the time to show up and Santa didn't drop by. :( Regardless there was laughter and jokes all around our table from the UNH’s staff and tenants. Special thanks to Debbie E. for the excellent trifle. :)
Unfortunately during the serving of the dinner Deb the
driver and I heard somebody calling for help. I immediately put my plate down
to see what was wrong. Poor Holy Moses
he slipped and fell while doing his laundry. Now whenever a fellow tenant is in
trouble and needs physical assistance I’m always there for them. The Acting HSC Ingrid Nosel was standing at
the laundry room doorway and rudely told me to move along.
First of all Mr. Moses is a big man and an acquaintance of mine, H.O.W. Charles
& I are the only strong men who could help and I told her I’m not leaving
until I know he’s ok. Then she
got irate and threatened to call the police which in turn I calmly said “go ahead!” this is a common
(hallway) area you can’t tell me where to go. Instead of focusing on Howard’s condition she instead tried to pick a fight with me. Needless to say she never did call the cops...it was an empty threat. Soon after
Holy Moses made it to the community room and joined the feast I’m glad to report
he’s a little shaken up but ok. Later when
Ingrid left the room I had a private conversation with him to explain my intent
and he understood my concern. You know throughout the year I’ve helped many tenants who have
difficulty getting around and to be told by the HSC to get lost is something I
don’t take lightly.
And now folks I have something shocking to report, never
have I known any non profit organization or agency in the city of Hamilton refuse or deny a
person a gift card due to personal reasons.
Ingrid Nosel is guilty of this practice I’ve seen her do this before
with former tenant Danny Joseph. Today all
tenants in the community room were given a $25.00 annual Christmas gift card except me. H.O.W. Charles apologized for this, I
patted him on the shoulder and said it’s not his fault.
To the United
Way and other financial supporters of UNH’s….this is how your contributions are being used. I believe in fairness & equality for all and since the HSC Ingrid Nosel can't put her personal differences and jealousies aside then perhaps she shouldn't be working here.
So much for a Merry Christmas Eh!
