***Emergency Help Needed*** ***5 AISH Clients***

We need your help. When people contact us they have already exhausted each and every possible option for assistance and they NEED HELP NOW!

I have been given permission to share some info from the AISH Clients asking us for #Help

I have had 5 calls just this afternoon/evening from AISH clients who did not receive #AISH & have been frantically get ahold of their respective workers or even get a return phone call from the intake worker on call. #Help

Here are their stories: #YYC #CalgaryCares #Alberta

Client 1: Elderly gentleman with a walker and mobility issues. Is unable to go to the foodbank or travel due to medical issues. Has special dietary needs but AISH has cut off some of his benefits. NEEDS A SMALL FOOD HAMPER

Client 2: Husband & Wife (One on AISH one working but laid off due to #COVID19AB #COVID19.) Qualified for CERB spouses AISH was Deducted Dollar for Dollar. Has Medical & Mobility Issues & special dietary needs. NEEDS A MEDIUM HAMPER AND HELP WITH MEDICATION THAT IS NOT COVERED.

Client 3: Single Senior just had surgery and cannot leave bed & needs assistance with medication costs & medical supplies that would normally be covered but was rejected because they did not notify their worker of their surgery & did not get three different quotes. #Disability

Client 4: Young AISH client did not get their AISH this month and has exhausted all avenues for assistance. She has two young children and due to #COVID19AB and the city of #Calgary shutting down and a lot of businesses closing...she has not been able to collect #ChildSupport.

Client 5: Single dad of one on AISH and is needing help with school clothes for his 15 yr old daughter as well as a food hamper. She also did not get her income papers submitted in time because of the #AISH office being closed and her worker not returning any of her calls. #YYC
