Yosu has been trying to get the Hospital officials to make a plan for correcting deficiencies and improving patients’ life; he has told them about Steemit, @Reveur and @YouAreHope, but hadn’t been able to get far with “speaking”, as in Venezuela, many are who say they would do, but never actually accomplish a thing…
So one day, he got fed up with all the grimness and despair that he breathed in this place everyday and got all his STEEM savings out and bought some very needed supplies for the hospital and it’s patients.
When we tell you about what they are, you will not believe the conditions these people survive in day after day…
1. Yosu bought 2 locks to secure the Confinement area where they keep suicidal and aggressive patients.
This has earned this useless thing the name of "psychological lock".
Take a look for yourself:
Now, thanks to @yosuandoni, they have actual locks. The safety of the patients and the nurses is no longer a matter of luck.
We are sure everyone feels safer now, knowing they are actually protected.
2. Yosu also bought 10 sturdy plastic bowls to serve the daily meals to the patients (because they were being served in their hands).
This is difficult for us to process, as they currently have around 20 patients in this hospital, and they were ALL eating from the palms of their hands.
Now at least they can eat in batches, 10 at a time, and be served in a bowl.
Yosu only bought 10 bowls because that's what he could afford. Surely we got you thinking about utensils now? ...because these people don't even have spoons!
When @yosuandoni came to the Hospital with these supplies, he finally got the attention of the officials. He requested a formal receipt document for the goods provided, and he got the sub-director's assurance that they would work hard on making an inventory of needs, and a plan to cover them.
Yosu has started to raise funds for this endeavor.
The @reveur team has coached him on how to frame and present his project, and will do a weekly follow up on progress and execution until the goals have been reached and a transparent account of the funds utilized is presented.
For now, and until the Hospital officials finalize the planning exercise, @yosuandoni has frame Phase 1 with the following needs:
- Reinforce the welding on the metal doors of the Confinement secion (these doors have several weak points)
- Add a coat of protecting paint to these doors, to extend their service life.
- Supply the remaining bowls for food distribution, so each patient can have one bowl and meal time can be done in one batch.
- Supply the Hospital with food serving utensils and cutterly.
