Christmas Wishlist

Re: Christmas Wishlist

Mahalo to everyone who supported this project. Wow. A pair of Locals slippahs for each kid! Those are primo slippahs, not the junk kine. The kids will make good use of them. They may not know or remember who made it possible for them to have the slippahs, but it's heartwarming to know that there are people out there who care about them and want them to have a little happiness for one day. And tonight, the entire State of Hawai'i will know that MWH is a place where kids are loved.

Mahalo nui loa and Mele Kalikimaka!

Re: Christmas Wishlist

Madazza, I thank you for having the guts to ask the question. Unfortunately, there are on this date at "my" counting and observance 4 drug houses at Mayor Wrights Housing. [...]Getting back to what you wanted to know. We have a Neighborhood Watch Walk that I am a part of. I am not afraid to turn in anyone I suspect of being drug houses or drug users to HPD. I am sick and tired of my neighborhood being dangerous for the children!

I fight back!

You go, girl!!!

True story...
During the late 1990s I had a beautiful, bright, young woman as my casting assistant. I found out 6 months into her internship that she started at my office right out of drug rehab. You coulda knocked me over with a feather! There was nothing about her that would've suggested that. No matter, tho', as she more than proved herself and her abilities. She became like a (3rd) daughter to me.

Then, during a particularly stressful time in her personal life, her disease slowly started to take hold again. She was able to feed her cravings via easy contacts at MWH. That's where she was eventually busted, ending up in prison. I spent a couple of Christmas afternoons with her at WCCC. It was there that she mentioned to me how neglected the children of drug dealers and users are. During visitation, the children clinging the hardest to their inmate moms were usually the most neglected, she said. Being exposed to the world known as WCCC was a painful, eye-opening experience for me.

"The difference with these children is that they don't have a choice. It's POVERTY as I stated before. It's sad, true and common to see them playing and going to school bare footed."

At least it would be by their own choice; that beats having no choice at all (too common an occurrence for the children of MWH and similar housing.)

Yer such a heel; you need to toe the line. (I have just realized what perverse pleasure I get from going off-topic...with puns, even better.)
