Still Waiting

That’s the front tooth from my dentures. I immediately texted my “Navigator” (CeeCee Coleman from Sacramento Self-Help Housing nonprofit) to please bring some Superglue (it’s not like I am asking for a dentist or anything outrageous) and also please come see me because I want to talk about having no access to my car in here. And bring people to be witnesses to Greg sign.

No answer.


What am I supposed to do in an emergency? No one is allowed in and I can’t walk far enough to a store, nor can I leave Greg who bleeds at the most random times. He needs me when that happens. He has extremely thin blood that won’t coagulate. He could die if there’s no one there to put pressure on the wound.

I also asked (July 3, 2020) for SuperGlue from Steve the manager who said he was on his way to store and would get some.

Also asked him about the power of attorney paperwork that the nurse told me she sent to his email last Friday. It wasn’t encouraging the way he said he had printed it out and sent it over already. Well, I didn’t get it but I have a set the hospital gave me, so please sent two Goodwill Industries employees over ASAP to witness. Please. I did very clearly say please as I looked him directly in the eye. He answered yes just as clearly as I asked. This is the third time I asked him (the manager). I have been to office numerous times, and when there was someone there, about half time, I asked for two Goodwill staff to walk over to witness.

UPDATE: Staff signed it July 4, 2020 at 2pm.

Note date: June 25th and finally got the paper signed July 4th.
Took this Day #3 of asking for a tube of damn superglue (July 5, 2020)
3 days. Glad it wasn’t a real emergency.

Supposedly only ten guests.

Governor Newsom Visits Project Roomkey Site in Bay Area to Announce “Homekey,” the Next Phase in State’s COVID-19 Response to Protect Homeless Californians | California Governor

One of the more disturbing aspects of Project Roomkey

They move you constantly. It happened to us in the motel, every 21 days we were forced to leave our belongings in the motel we were staying at, pack an overnight bag, our linens and go to another motel to stay one night. The first time out, we had to pay that motel. But I raised so much hell in emails and texts that the next two times out were paid by the County.

But we were still forced to go to a motel that is NOT safely quarantined like our motel room with our belongings. Every new room is a minefield of germs.

On the 4th cycle, we were moved here to the FEMA trailers at CalExpo. I had just begun to relax when the food delivery girl showed up one night and said we had to move because we had tested negative for COVID-19 and the row we were in was reserved for the positives.

It was awful having to pack everything and get it all rounded up all over again. Just like the day we were forced to abandon the RV all over again. I had to upset Greg and move him out of his bed and to another bed. That may not be much to the staff but to a sick man, it’s a lot.

In trailer #39, the night of June 20, 2020 everything packed (again)
The new trailer is the one in front of lamp post across the yard. So far for Greg who is barely walking. He still hasn’t recovered from the move a week earler. We had to sit in the hot sun nearly three hours in the parking lot waiting until we were allowed to move into trailer. So having to move him to a new place….
One of the volunteers who serves the meals brought a cart and offered to carry the heavier bags, but I declined due to my fear of COVID-19. I moved it myself. Safer. Less mental stress.

That’s how bad Greg looked the day we moved into the FEMA trailer campus, on June 14th. A week later, made to move again.

He looks like a completely different person from the man who drove March 19, 2020 from Antioch to Sacramento the day we were forced to abandon our RV home at Sherman Island County Park.
The new trailer. But for how long?
The view from the kitchen window.

So TODAY (July 3, 2020) I look out the window and see (at 7.30am) the elderly man next door being made to move. The only thing he had ever said, in my hearing, was how he kept losing things every time he had to pack and move to another trailer. Seeing him move this morning made me suspect that regular movea are how the County keeps anyone from becoming their tenant.

Sacramento city officials send outreach team to connect homeless to COVID-19 services

The “Navigator ” told me the day she gave me the trailer info, the reason I hadn’t been offered a trailer because I wasn’t listed as “homeless” on the books. My skin crawled.

Oceanside accepts funds for 50-bed, year-round homeless shelter – The San Diego Union-Tribune

So much money in providing a cot or just a mat on the floor. I wonder if all these people doing this to the poor realize they will have to look God in the eye one day and explain this shit?
