Agreed. I would of been running wire and getting stuff hooked up for her.
We all get busy with our lives and forget about our neighbors. How long since you dropped by to check on your elderly parents. Don't call them on the phone, stop by. Most elderly people won't tell their children their troubles. Either they sre embarassed, or they don't want to bother anyone with their problems.
I've often said that it's not that people don't care, it's often that they don't know. /rant off
In a lot of areas, it's against the law to work on residential wiring unless you're licensed to do it. That may have stopped people from giving her that kind of help. But you'd think they could have done something - alert social services or something or the FEMA people. Give them something legit to do with their time.
