Stephen Grant – Source:Nation Newspaper
As an individual who works in the Social Service sector in North America, it is sad to read about Mr. Stephen Grant’s diagnosis and the ongoing problems he has faced his entire life. Are Barbadians so preoccupied with wealth that they refuse to address social issues such as Mr. Grants health and housing issues. It is sad when a Welfare worker refuse to accommodate him in their office and nothing is done about their attitude towards this man. I am sure there are great bajans out there who are willing to advocate on his behalf. His support plan is simple, health care and housing. This man is not on any form of drugs or does not have any mental health issues that is being mentioned. Come on let Mr. Grant spend the latter half of his life in dignity. One day while vacationing abroad take a trip to our shelters here and then you will be thankful for the minor cases you have there. Barbadians are suppose to be God fearing people where is that fear and compassion when addressing the serious needs of your own people – Submitted by BU Commenter Karia
Karia, a BU commenter was moved to post the above comment after reading about the plight of Mr. Stephen Grant’s ailment in today’s newspaper. BU also received a few emails asking that we join with the Nation Newspaper and spread the word about the diagnosis of this unfortunate gentleman. We are usually very harsh on this newspaper, but on this human interest story, we commend them.
