He’s Not Expendable By: Dan Hyde / Call to Action Meet Timothy Bartley. I call him, and the thousands of others suffering a similar fate, homeless veterans in desperation. Mr. Bartley sits in his worn-down electric wheelchair looking for shade so he can escape the heat. That’s until the Salvation Army’s overnight shelter opens at 6:00 pm and provides shelter until 6 am the next day. The problem is that during the daytime when heat is at its worst, there is no place for him to seek shelter except under a tree, (if one is available). The other non-profits are suffering severe staffing shortages due to the pandemic and cannot provide daytime relief. Exasperating the problem for Mr. Bartley is that his wheelchair has limited operating time. Thus he has to be careful as to how far he goes so that he is not more than 50 feet from the shelter as he waits for it to open. What makes this problem horrific is that he is not the exception to the problem. I believe he personifies the agony that thousands of other Nevadans are going through each and every day. Take a very close look at his face. What I see is a deep sense of hopelessness, complete lack of self-esteem and a desperation that few of us have ever experienced. As the newest COVID mutation takes hold, people previously moved to volunteer to help have backed off because of fear that they will be a victim of COVID. So what to do? One suggestion is to consolidate all of the non-profits providing similar services under one operational roof, thus avoiding cost duplicity. By doing this, most every donated dollar would go to the core “business model.” Secondly, as I have mentioned many times before, replicate the success of the Veterans Village homeless compound spearheaded by Arnold Stalk and convert old railroad cars to safe and cost effective transitional housing. Finally, and perhaps the most difficult task is to “motivate” the politicians to act. That last one may seem impossible, but I’d rather focus on the probable. *Photo credit Eric Verduzco of the Las Vegas Review Journal.
