RE: Taking Care Of Those Forgotten By Society

[sgt-dan]

I worked for a short time in a mental hospital (Ancora in New Jersey) as an orderly after a short hiatus from Marine Corps Active Duty in the 1980s. The job of all staff is a difficult one I can tell you, from personal experience. I worked on a ward for the criminally insane. I empathize with @yosuandoni in the terrible conditions inherent in these institutions.

The facility where I worked had much better resources in the way of security and patient care, but it could have been better. Folks like @yosuandoni have a very difficult job, and believe me, the pay is not why people remain in this vocation (mental health care).

G-D bless you @yosuandoni for your selflessness in the care of your charges. You are to be commended and I wish you blessings for all that you have done, and the thankless job you do everyday.

La instalación donde trabajé tenía recursos mucho mejores en materia de seguridad y cuidado del paciente, pero podría haber sido mejor. Las personas como @yosuandoni tienen un trabajo muy difícil, y créanme, la paga no es la razón por la cual las personas permanecen en esta vocación (atención de salud mental).

DI-S lo bendiga @yosuandoni por su desinterés en el cuidado de sus cargas. Usted debe ser felicitado y le deseo bendiciones por todo lo que ha hecho, y el trabajo ingrato que hace todos los días.

Sarge (Sargento) @sgt-dan

Trabajé durante un corto tiempo en un hospital psiquiátrico (Ancora en New Jersey, Estados Unidos) como asistente después de un breve descanso de Marine Corps Active Duty en la década de 1980. El trabajo de todo el personal es difícil, puedo decírtelo por experiencia personal. Trabajé en un pabellón para criminales locos. Empatizo con @yosuandoni en las terribles condiciones inherentes a estas instituciones.

What you say about the salary not being the reason people work in these places you are absolutely right. In Venezuela the minimum wage is 2 usd/month, and the cost of the basic foods basket is around 400 usd, so I was beyond impressed (and worried) when Yosu told us he had used his savings to buy these supplies.
You will hear more from this young man, as he has advanced on this project already, and he fibnally has the support of the hospital officials. God bless you.Thank you for such kind comments and support. I've been part of the coaching team helping @yosuandoni and can tell you that he has a heart of gold.

I thank you for the blessing and wish you the same. It is folks like this that need our support even though they will not ask for themselves, but will for others.
