Re: Re: Where are Pittsburgh bloggers on the fire in Larimer?
by Sue
Good for Dan. Pray and investigate. Then how about making sure there are plenty of county services available to Larimer residents and other single mothers -- be it D&A services, child care services, job development, parenting, economic development, afterschool programs, etc. Let's avoid the temptation to narrow this down to a specific reason with type-cast characters and focus on preventing the next tragedy. What's frustrating about this situation is the parallel with the Greene County family that died because of space heaters --- all the $$ spent on teddy bears and flowers could probably repaired the broken furnace and prevented the entire situation. I laughed each evening as KDKA presented information on energy assistance programs, implying that this poor misguided family didn't know about them. Ha. Most low income families know programs and services better than this social worker. The problem is they aren't accessible or eligible or at all helpful. My prayers are with the families. My hopes are that the investigation sheds some light on very real urban problems that aren't being tended to by Mr. Onorato and Mr. Ravenstahl very well.
