Otis Telbert Berthey Jr CEC AA DSS

I begin volunteering there around March of 2018. That was a difficult time of me. I was in a wheelchair and homeless. I was alone and had no family or ideas for me to turn to. For the first time in my lifetime! I had no one and nothing. I've been trying to get assistance from Veterans Community Services, who are, the organization that took my case from the VA hospital. In the October's month of 2017. What I received from the Veterans Community Services wasn't assistance. That organization, who's using veteran's fundings to operate their misappropriation under. Left me outside of the Veterans Community Services building's front door. I came out of surgery on September 9, 2017. My motorcycle accident was August 21, 2017. I can not stand up at all and I'm taking very powerful medications. I have a morphine bag doing a control drip for areas to my right leg and ankle. I was just left there. I'd go in and asked questions and what's always told me? The intake coordinator is the best person to get the process started. The counter when pick up the phone and looks over at me and says, he's leaving a message. (Male or Female is never associated with whom this message was left with?) I was left to existing on the front porch to the Veterans Community Services. That's on the corner of El Cajon Blvd and 54th Street. Very uncomfortable nights from October 2017 until after Thanksgiving holiday. It's the beauty salon that was next door to the Veterans Community Services that brought me a Thanksgiving dinner that evening. I'd take me in that wheelchair and I'd bathed around 3:00AM and where I couldn't be seen by the public. My apartment things are in a 6x4 unit at Morena Storage. I never blamed no one other than myself. Payday was the week before my motorcycle accident and all the bills were paid, so I through a grill cookout in the apartment's outdoor grill area and patio. Now that was a beautiful patio garden area. The residents have a smoking and non-smoking area. Very spacious for entertaining outdoor and, the whole apartment complex is gated. Never say, never to yourself. I had to give up my apartment or suffer eviction. Everyone that lives there are inform about the waiting list. So the residents place a good neighbor policy in the recreation hall. No resident will suffer the humiliation coming from eviction. My move out was fun. You have to be over 55 years old just to get on the list. I'd turned 61 years of age in 2017. I'm in a wheelchair and for the life in me. I had no intentions of making another feel bad for me. I still had a lot of soda's and pastries from the last grill I hosted. So I used my God given talent for making anything joyous. Plus, I got the things in the apartment to storage said goodbye. On October 6th of 2017 I'm not from San Diego, CA and I not good at getting close to anyone. I found out that left me sleeping outdoor in a wheelchair. Not Cool! I also learned, that, there is people in the San Diego city who would do just about anything, even create lies about me, to see if I'd brake down. Lose all hope in my beliefs to a beautiful life. I will probably not. I'm at the edge of a similar battle and I still past that hope I have for my beliefs to a beautiful life to anyone that's smiling back to me. I have nothing negative to the people of the attack on my character. I smile 😊. I've ✋ it over to my beliefs to see what the truth will be properly presented. Then I'll get back what's taken? Then I and the proper representative will give the city of San Diego what it sort. Remember I was a third person here and I know it story. Otis
