He lost his vision about ten months ago. He was living with someone who kept him locked in a room and took advantage of him. He was on the street until someone got him to the motel.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I took the prescriptions he had in his bag and got them filled at Walmart. He has COPD and emphysema. He probably needs to go to have his health checked at ER or urgent care, unless we can get him somewhere else.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>He was on disability before he lost his sight. He is eating fast food; however, he has a microwave and small refrigerator in his room. I will go back on Wednesday to take him some canned food and things that he can heat up and not need to be cold necessarily since his fridge is small.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think his immediate need is his health and medication. He does have Medicaid. We also need to find him some temporary living arrangements while he gets his meds back in him as he has been off them for a while due to his lack of vision and being pretty much homeless.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Then, we can focus on his blindness skills. He is working on getting a case open at SCCB.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The We Care Committee may be reaching out for your assistance. Please contact Dorothy Barksdale, chair of the committee if you can assist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>He wears 48/30 in pants<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3X shirt<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Size ten shoes<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will be visiting him at least twice a week until other arrangements can be made. I am happy to take him items if you have anything to donate, just call me and I can get them from you and take them to him.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you NFB of SC for praying for this gentleman and seeing how we can assist another blind brother.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jennifer Bazer,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President, NFB of SC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>803-960-9977<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jhipp25@sc.rr.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
