you know, we pay taxes for this sort of thing
call social services and ask if they can help him out
That's really sad princess. There has to be some agency that can help him, starting with the Food Pantry.
I'd sure hate to see a guy and his dog parted. I'd throw in a case of dog food if you want to set something up.
I would be willing to ship some dog food too...

Well I called them and they went by to check it out and he refused any help. He said he could make it on his own and didnt want any handouts. He mentioned a job at a local apple orchard, although I dont know what kind of work they could do in the fall/winter, and I know its not much pay but at least its a start. I just hope he is able to keep his job.
I have thought about offereing to help him clean his house but you guys dont understand how nasty it is. I have never seen anything like it in my life. He dont have any water so he cant flush the toilet so it reeks pretty bad in there. He had to borrow a bucket of water off of my sister just to flush the toilet the other day because it got so full and stinky he himself couldnt stand it anymore. I dont even know what color the carpet is because you cant see the floor. All of the house trash is bagged up and still in the house piled up and rotting. I dont know if he let soical services in but I do doubt it.
I think he said something about his grandma sending him some money but I dont know when. My sister and her boyfriend are annoyed by him. he comes to there house everyday to hang out and use the phone. I tried to explain to them that he has mental problems and he needs help but they keep on sayin he done it to himself and how he needs to leave because he is gettin on there nerves. Of course he done it to himself because he dont know any better. They have really dissapointed me because of the way they talk to him sometimes. It has totally changed my perception of there character. I think I am going to look into what kind of jobs there are that I can be able to work with the disabled. He has really touched my heart and opened my eyes. I always told my husband that if we ever won the lottery I would just pick someone in need and change there life forever and if I ever do this guy will be the first on on my list.
deleted this... not relevant...see below.
If he doesn't want help, he doesn't want it. It'll have to be his problem.
But, you should give him bags of dog food for his poor dog! I don't know how you could do it without it being "handout-y" but maybe you could just leave it on his porch at night :)
i would ship dog food, but the shipping would be like, $40
yeah, its sad when that happens...you know, they have programs where they can still live in their house, but theyre checked on once a day or so
and my mom has been getting disability checks for years out of "mental anguish"...im sure he can get em
Geez Princess, I wish you could get him to accept some help because the way he's living is a health hazzard. Not just to him but to those that live near him. Gotta be some rodents and maggots in that trash. I refuse to even talk in depth about the bathroom situation. gahQuote:
