They tried to kill my mama in Leitchfield

[Wiskers]

I am so mad that I can hardly type this post and it's been 2 days of cooling off for me!

I'm stuck out here on this boat & my family is home dealing with the Ice Storm. Wife, kids and grandkids are all doing well. I believe in being prepaired for things like this and they are fine.

My sister lives in Canneyville & my mother lives in near by Leitchfield. When the storm hit my sister was isolated and couldn't get to my mom. She got hold of the local authorities in Lietchfield and told them where my mother was and to please get her to a shelter. She told them what kind of shape my mother was in and that there was no way she could deal with these conditions. They assured her that she would be taken care of & not to worry.

Let me give you a short rundown on my mom. 70 years old, diabetic, 2 hip replacements, fibromyalgia, has had 6 hernia operations in last 2 years, can get around just a little with a walker but mostly depends on a power chair, fixed income, very strong willed. Get the picture? Not your basic picture of health.

I couldn't get hold of my mom for several days. Talked to my sister & she told me that mama should be in a shelter but didn't know which one.

To make a long story short my sister couldn't find her so she went to her apartment late Thursday, when the road had been cleared enough for her to get out. There was my mama, darn near froze to death! She said she had no heat, no electricity, and no communication. She said 2 guys came and checked on her tuesday. Mom told them she was very cold but alright. She thought that they were gonna take her somewhere but they just got in the truck and drove off. Wed. another guy came by and did the same thing. She told each of them that she had no way to stay warm, no electricity, and her phones didn't work.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but if you go and check on an elderly person in this type of emergency and she finally makes it to the door with the use of a walker and is wrapped up in every blanket she owns, and says "Oh thank God" when she see's you... Don't you think that anyone with even 1 ounce of intelligence and is barely able to tie his own shoes would have enought sence to take that person to a shelter?!!!! Can you immagine the sence of abandonment, fear, lonelyness, and dispair that my mother must have felt for the 2 & 1/2 days that she was trapped in that apartment?

You can bet your last $ that when I get off this boat I'm gonna find the 3 people that left her like that and I am gonna make them my pass time. I don't know what legal recourse I have and I don't need their money but I will make sure they are exposed for what they did and are dealt with!
