Your prayers, offers of monetary and in-kind donations are so appreciative.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Today, I went to visit MR. Morrow again at the Super 8 in Columbia. I took him to urgent Care and then to Walmart to pick up the four prescriptions, including an inhaler that was prescribed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>He told me he was robbed outside his door with a knife at his back. A police report was filed as all was caught on camera. He wanted to move to another motel in the West Columbia area that he knew the owner. I took him to this hotel and paid for him a week at $325.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While I was waiting on him during the five hours I spent with him, I did call Finley House and he is not old enough for housing there. I have a call into Christopher Towers and another place. I did call adult protective services. They did not seem too concerned even with his extreme conditions and being blind.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now that he has medications, the next urgent concern is housing. He is on SSI and has a limited income; however, a motel isn’t cost effective.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please join me in praying for this gentleman. Please join me in putting our heads together to find him housing, if it is temporary and safe until we can find something more permanent and stable. Then, we can work on the blindness skills and other resources.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please consider how you can help MR. Morrow? In-kind items like food, hygiene, clothes, more. Or, monetarily so we can purchase these items or help with the week stay at the motel. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for all you do to assist a blind family member in need.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please text or call me at 803-960-9977 or email me at <a href="mailto:jhipp25@sc.rr.com">jhipp25@sc.rr.com</a> if you are able to assist with monetary or in-kind donations or how leads on housing.<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><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
