1/3Who truly thought if a catastrophic event like this virus happened that the most vulnerable on earth would be ignored??? Never in my wildest nightmares with the poverty we already live in I thought they would be making sure the #disabled were ok. #ODSPoverty
2/3This Pandemic opened this #sick woman's eyes to the things people have been telling me for years. But for some reason I took what I got (not much) #suffered in pain but was grateful to have something to eat and a roof most of the time. I just never felt entitled. #ODSPoverty
3/3But now I see that being #disabled I have rights and am to be protected by my country. And I am not neither is my community. Does the govt not understand the the disabled are the ones spreading the virus unable to afford PPE or grocery delivery. #ODSPoverty
4/4 My doctor has also told me that I can catch and spread the disease easier then your average bear being as #sick as I am, for years I have been given trouble about my nutrition but what was I supposed to do. Eat and let my kids starve. NOPE. They ate when we had food. NOT ME.

1/10The need to self-isolate increases needs and costs. Getting to the grocery store is not an option all on ODSP now. Transportation is disrupted and more costly. Those with compromised immune systems can’t risk the trip. This leaves grocery delivery services cannot be afforded
2/10“For people on ODSP, watching others receive $2,000 a month from the federal government is a bitter pill to swallow.” This is how a working #disabled person gets ALL the time minus pandemic. And they work under circumstances where most doctors say NO working #ODSPoverty
3/10On April 21st, more than a month after we went into self-isolation, the Ford government announced how they would treat CERB. While the federal government urged the provinces and territories to let recipients receive the CERB without a clawback to social assistance,
1/4I feel those that chose not to wear a mask are selfish because it is not themselves they are protecting. They are protecting others. I heard in Asian continents if you DO NOT wear a mask you are considered an outcast. People do not like you. They do not want you around them
2/4It is about respect for human lives. About respect for your fellow man NO MATTER what you believe. WEAR A MASK. If you do not and find out you have COVID. I hope these APPS eventually tell you how many #disabled#seniors#kids#sick that you passed it on too and killed.
3/4And Canada needs to make it so the disabled can afford PPE. The Right kind and keep it clean or be able to wear three. I want to save lives not take them. I need this Because I cannot afford to stay in and have groceries delivered. In fact I go without food. #ODSPoverty
1/3 I had a lot of time to do thinking while in this fleabag motel. As I thought I recalled a speech I think it was Harris but do not hold me to that. It was said that the OAS pension would run out by 2021. If anyone can find that on Youtube or newspaper I would appreciate.
2/3As I have not hidden this tweeter who is disabled and 51 yrs old believes #seniors#disabled#vets and anyone who relies on the govt, are being culled. Does it not seem strange that this vaccine MAY be ready by the END 2021. We have the biggest population of #seniors right now
3/3 Baby boomers are aging and are Seniors. So since the OAS is running out. And #disabled are being completely ignored during this WORSE time during the pandemic. Yet they say there are discretionary funds for the #disabled but TRUST THIS TWEETER there is nothing. #ODSPoverty
1/3I had the worst week of my life. The infrastructure in this park that he is trying to evict everyone from the arborist told him trees must be felled. Yet nope. I went without power for 4 days. Spent 3 nights at a hotel fleabag 100 dollars a night was cheapest #ODSPoverty
2/3 Hydro One did their job but how old the infrastructure is here taking a hit like that when the put new transformer in it kept blowing. SO they unhooked all our panels till OWNER fixed it. He did. 3 days later. It got cold as you all know Quinte Brighton area. #ODSPoverty
3/3 Lost all my food. That I bought with gift cards out the kindness of a charity. All gone.I finally get home and in my mailbox are two gift cards. From same Charity. May God Bless this Pandemic help that our Government is not helping us with
anything.
