A Horror Story Of Elder Abuse
i have a friend who is a single digit millionaire and lives several states away from me. He has spent his life involved in unpublicized acts of charity for others. He is weak from
fighting cancer. A caregiver was arranged for him. She is Catholic and frequently attacked his beliefs. She would cover his guru's pictures with cloth. How many of his rare collection of spiritual books survive her disapproval is not known. He has lost weight, partly because she disrepects his vegetarian diet, serving him chicken which (once 'who' not 'which') lies untouched on his plate. He who hired her is sovereign but she rides roughshod over
him, not bringing him fruit juices or other foods when he requests them. It is not enough for her that she makes $240 a day plus room and board. She frequently asks him to put her in his will. She has been involved in his isolation, refusing to let many of his friends speak to him, denying admittance to his friends when they knock on the door. His cell phone is often removed. His desire to fire her has not been honored.
He is not married and has no children. His guru wanted him to leave his money for the poor of his own choosing, e.g. the many homeless people in his city.
He has been surrounded by vultures who want his money, who have
sent teams of 3 people to keep hammering him to assign to them his
power of attorney.
I have not yet and may or may not describe 5 other vultures
making his life hell.
It is my prayer that his wishes be honored, that the greedy unethical cast of characters be replaced, that he win the battle against cancer, and that after more years of painless life, he die knowing that his money will go to the
poorest of the poor.
