Nursing Home Residents Stranded In Waist-Deep Water For HOURS – Heartbreaking Pics
If you were wondering why the rescuers in storms like this are seen as such heroes… this photo says it all.
Imagine it was YOUR mother or grandmother in this photo.
Some of the most vulnerable people in an emergency situation like this are those who cannot flee, by reason of frailty or some other limiting illness.
Look at the photo. REALLY look at it.
Do you see where the water ends?
The elbows if the lady in the blue shirt are wet.
Her knees are almost covered.
The photos are taken in Dixon Texas. It was sent out by social media by La Vita Bella as a desperate call for help.
The 15 residents of La Vita Bella assisted living in Dickinson, Texas, were rescued hours after an alarming photograph of a group of elderly women sitting in the water was posted to Twitter.
Timothy McIntosh, the son-in-law of the woman who owns the nursing home posted the picture just before 10am on Sunday asking for help. —DailyMail
