  • Forced To Sell House To Pay For Care

    IS THIS RIGHT.??MY DAD BEING FORCED TO SELL HIS HOME … This is me and my 92 year old Dad yesterday. He’s fit and takes only an inhaler but does have vascular Dementia. Dad was active in World War 2 , he can’t remember.

    He educated himself at University to escape the Pit work his family had all done , he can’t remember.

    Worked his entire life and educated me and my siblings , he can’t remember. Wrote beautiful poetry and stories , he can’t remember.

    Married to mum for 61 years , he can’t remember.

    NOW HE HAS TO PAY FOR HIS CARE BY SELLING HIS BEAUTIFUL HOUSE ..🙈🙈and I thank god he can’t remember. 🙈🙈

    We don’t begrudge paying nearly A THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK , yes a week … but he sits beside people who pay NOTHING. He is being penalised for securing his future and NEVER EVER taking state money.

    When the money has gone to the state from the sale of his house he will stay in his residential home and be paid for. He will die a poor man , a man with nothing to leave to his grandchildren… ZERO , ZILCH… A PAUPER ..

    I feel useless for not being able to care for him and feel broken hearted for him that his house is to be sold.. An overhaul of our Elderly population’s care is long overdue. To the fat cats that this scenario doesn’t affect , to the owners of care homes who charge extortionate fees , to the Government who are so self obsessed and power crazy …. I pity you all…. And to us ordinary mortals … it’s about time we uprose and got this in order. please like and share but no comments. I just want this to get to someone who might give a monkeys…. 🐵🙉🙊

  • Should You Be Compensated For Lost Breast Milk If Your Freezer Breaks?

    Kimberley Ver took to Facebook to complain about her freezer defrosting all her saved breast milk and has since been given a good will gesture by Currys Pc world.

    But Ver’s post has stirred up debates about the value of breast milk Ver said:

    “Hi ladies you may remember my post about the faulty freezer defrosting my milk stash.well if just received a text saying they are coming to collect the freezer (the text came 10min AFTER the slot began) so I’ve taken the milk out. 89 bottles! 89 BOTTLES! 5.8LITRES I’ve emailed Currys twice and in their words they will not attempt to compensate me as you cannot put a monetary value on breast milk, so they are refusing to sort this situation out. I’ve asked them to ring me to discuss and they refuse. I tweeted it and no response. What else can I do? This is a tragic loss and Currys should be doing something in good will to the appropriate standard xx *EDIT* Currys have been in touch to discuss a good will gesture x Currys PC World Currys complaints”.

    Mandy Sampson replied to the post and said “No amount of money can replace lost Breast milk”. Sampson felt that money would not change the situation and was pointless to even complain.

    However Joanna Kennedy replied and said she would charge Currys pc world for the time it took to express the milk if it had happened to her.

    Milk banks can charge the NhS NICU £7.50 for a 50ml container of breast milk it has been stated, so do you think a good will gesture is enough or should the likes of Kimberley Ver and others who lose breast milk to faulty freezers receive the entire money value of their milk? or do you feel it’s just one of those things and should just forget about it?
