3/ @POTUS Sir: I moved to Fresno, CA five yrs ago, from Silicon Vly, for the cheaper cost of rent and to obtain a degree @Fresno_State . My plans derailed by epilepsy complications, hospitalization. I've also photosensitive epilepsy (flourescent & flashing lights, red). -Michaela
10/ @POTUS Sir: @FresnoRescueMsn 's Rescue the Children didn't take overnight clients to nuns/services: snacks 2x a day, bunk beds, showers, laundry 1x wk, clothing warehouse 1x/mo, Sewing Room w/volunteers, Computer room. Sick women had to walk 6 MILES 😡💔. Evil⚡.-Michaela
4/ @POTUS Sir: As I said Tues, in NO other part of US life is a 3-20 "wait time" (Soc Sec disability, denials, appeal via atty) acceptable. From taking out the trash, cleaning cat box, dishes, work, responding to emergencies, there is NO "will get to that 3-20 yrs"!⚡-Michaela
14/ @POTUS Sir: Despite @FresnoRescueMsn receiving millions in govnt $, @CityofFresno CA requiring we stay there to get "Letter of Homelessness", I never received a survey via email/text. Deplorable policies/conditions😡⚡. Had to tell govnt workers on Zoom call 2020. -Michaela
12/ @POTUS The women clients I were medically fragile, had cognitive impairments. They'd bad shoes, little clothing. Ordered to leave in hot weather on foot😡, no bottled water, snacks. Cruel, evil, unprofessional, lawsuit waiting to happen. 6 miles to @PoverelloHouse -Michaela
7/ @POTUS Sir: People carry on dangerous untrue stigmas about homeless, like the substance use stereotype when only 26% of homeless people are in that group (usually with co-occurring mental health prob) & 74% of homeless people are NOT in category 😯! -Michaela, Fresno,
Ca
4/ @POTUS Sir: I spent thru my savings, and became homeless. The govnt did NOT immediately stabilize me, with a dr's signature on forms. Instead it's a 3 to 20 yr battle for Social Security disability, denials. Get atty appeal. Akin to climbing Mt. Everest WHEN SICK😡⚡.-Michaela
