Reply #6: We did something like that some years ago for a woman on crutches

[RKP5637]

that was trying to walk miles to the bus station for similar reasons. We saw her walking down the highway by the house on a pair of crutches stumbling along.

She told us a long story and then told me to feel her legs so we knew she was not lying. She had all steel plates in her legs. She also had quite a cough that sounded to me serious. She did not want any medical help and just wanted to get to her relatives.

We took her to a major bus depot miles away, bought her bus ticket for her and give her about $100 too for meals and some spending money to help her on her way.

She was in her 70's.

There are a lot of people in this country in absolutely miserable situations and they are swept under the rug in this country, out of sight out of mind.

The US really really pisses me off on how this is the country for corporations and profit at any cost, but not for ALL people. It really disgusts me.

I know, other countries are far worse, but the United States could do far better IMO!
