I have examples. I know an older lady whose circumstances are such that she is just trying to survive. She is extremely isolated. If she had not had a natural community network to support her, that lady would be dead now. There is no doubt about it. I was sitting at a table. Some people are terrible. They understand French, but they don't tell us.
So, a group of people who were working for the government wanted to find housing for this lady. Since I didn't speak English, I asked the translator if they were saying that they were going to place her in housing. They could hear what I was saying, those little rascals. She answered, and I spoke in French. I said what I thought and one of the people there told me she had understood. Why didn't they tell me that earlier? That lady, who is over 90, would be dead. We were providing one hour of community support every day. Once they went in to see her and she was on the floor. That's how things were resolved. She was admitted to hospital and a Francophone doctor told me that she would not leave the hospital as long as he did not sign her release. Must we always hope that the right person will be in the right place at the right time, all the time?
