Due to the climate, loss of morality, & lack of respect for each other in general has, hit an all time low & unfortunately the elderly, disabled, & immobile are often targeted, or dismissed by those under 40yrs old vs our elderly...several ppl are so "busy" & in such a hurry livin our own lives, we often forget the givers of life & that if we're blessed enough, we too will grow old.

This is a place that has a lot of children and retired people who are available to care for their grandchildren while parents work.
