Reaching out Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (NY) - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 Author: DC, Cynthia Benjamin, Staff Doctors and other medical staff volunteer time to treat patients

BY STAFF WRITER

CYNTHIA BENJAMIN

Corey Hughes ‘ thyroid gland was bothering him - again. He needed medical attention, but had no money to get it. Hughes , 33, a computer programmer who lives in Rochester, has no steady job, no health insurance, no doctor.

So, when Dr. Carolyn Mok examined him June 2 at Mercy Outreach Center on Webster Avenue, not only did Hughes get necessary treatment for his thyroid condition, he also took comfort in something else: the service was free.

Might explain this .... LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

Henrietta Hughes also applied for a job at a local hospital, but was rejected after they saw her age, she said.

“He said, ‘What’s your age? How old are you,’” is how she characterized the interview.

.................

ps. There’s no DOB on that truck citation you posted above. /tinfoilhat

The local Seattle radio show had the wife of the Republican congressman for the district on. She offered an empty house they own (its up for sale) for Ms. Hughes to live in. They will be looking at it tomorrow.

[maggief]

Collier County is just south and east of Lee County, FL.

May want to check those records

[maggief]

Who will be looking, and at what? If it’s the congressman’s wife, I hope they ask for some credentials.

Thank you.

I get so mad when I read that article.
Not once did they mention they have owned property since 2001. They have been paying taxes on property since 2001

It is so dishonest. It leaves the reader with the impression that they arrived in Ft Myers in 2008 for the first time. Lehigh Acres is not even mentioned.

Neither is PA< KY< GA

Sorry. The congressman’s wife just offered it to her - on the spot. No checks, etc. The talk show host mentioned that to her that he thought that was ill advised. She replied “As a lawyer, I know that I run some risk of doing this. But, in today’s climate you can get sued by someone trying to give them first aid or whatever.”

And yes, Ms. Hughes told the congressman’s wife that she went to the library and saw photos of the house (it is for sale) and would like to see it together tomorrow. (What - the color may not be quite suitable for her and her son!!??)

Hopefully the home owner will have the presence of mind to have some contracts ready - even if it is a gift of a free house. Good for Ms. Hughes too. (You can stay until I sell it, and I will continue to pay the taxes, electric, etc. You pay for the phone. And no - you can’t have cable TV - or then you can pay for the electric. You can’t trash my house, I can visit whenever, etc.)

It will be interesting to see what happens. I would like to believe in the goodness of human nature that someone that needs help gets help due to the kindness of a stranger. We’ll see if Henrietta takes her up on this offer - or warily walks off into the shadows. (Oh man - all I wanted was my 5 minutes of fame - not some house!)

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HENRIETTA HUGHES.

Henrietta Hughes said she is a former secretary, but on disability after surviving three bouts with cancer.

Their Lehigh Acres home soon went into foreclosure, and they have been forced to live in their silver pickup with two seats, parking it wherever they can. She said they sleep in the truck bed with its cover protecting them from the cold, wind and rain.

Corey Hughes, 37, said they spend days going to job centers, trying to find work. The pair had tried to apply for a state-subsidized apartment, but discovered there was a two-year waiting list.

His mother had been thinking about writing Obama a letter detailing their troubles, but when they heard he was coming to town, they decided to go, Corey Hughes said.
While on a walk around 9 p.m. Sunday, the two found a line of people waiting to get tickets and they jumped in. Twelve hours later, they had tickets to see the president.
Corey Hughes said he wasn’t surprised about his mother’s interaction with the president.

“She wanted to talk to him,” he said. Later, he noted, “If anybody could really help, I guess he could.”

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
There is no forclosure. Corey paid the taxes on the property last month.
Lies, lies, lies!!!!!

Miss Hughes was just on F &F and mentioned she Borrowed a lot of money, “at a very high interest rate”. Hmmmmm

“He said, ‘What’s your age? How old are you,’” is how she characterized the interview.

I call BS on this and her story)! There is not any personnel officer who would make that statement in his/her right mind, as it is against the law. It is fodder for a lawsuit for discrimination! They can't even ask your birth date until hired!..

From whom and for what??? The multiple FL properties? One or some was owned, if I read correctly, while both of them cried hardship in 2004 ... in NY.

[tiredoflaundry]

Don't know, but she also said she left NY, went to Pa. , then to PASCO County Florida. I thought she was in Lee County.

Great work on this thread. I wonder why Rush did not want to speculate about the background of these “snowbirds” on his show yesterday? I hope he gets the info you have documented here and shares it with your audience.
