A MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND OF MINE

covid 19 has has a few people in an uproar but it has seniors scared to death! Sure your going to allow seniors to shop fro this time to this time in safety. But is there safety? Because other people are shopping at the same time! In fact the stores open before its safe time for seniors, so there's no use in going because everything that was stocked is already gone and the best deal a senior can get is animal food. Going to a grocery store it use to cost us around $100 for a week to a week and a half now its $200 a week. Thats okay if you got that 9-5 job Mon-Friday, But I am on Social Security Disability (1200 a month) and $200 a month from Snap. Can you live on $1400 a month, I don't think so. Trips to the grocery are costing $200 a week right now, and you cant even buy paper products, and when you can someone rips it out of your hand or steals from your cart.

Spokane County use to be a friendly place, but everyone has lost it with covid 19. Now its not safe for the vulnerable. And the vulnerable are our seniors. Young adults and middle age adults are the ones at fault and don't even try a call for help, You'll get I'm sorry that happened to you, can you try going a different time of day or another store?

We ran out of money last week, due to increased prices at the store, DSHS isn't helping, and the good Samaritans are only working in the city not in the valley or county. Its perty sad when only certain people can get help, and the ones who need it cant. And these checks they are going to give to most people, sure if you file taxes, Seniors who draw fro one source under a certain amount don't have to file, so again they're screwed again.

We take are of our kids all year long, but we can't even take care of our seniors. Its really bad what our community is coming to, Its really sad.
