1
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: This is Steil Henderson from William House Widian House Investigation.

2
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: We have another resident from the Baltimore and we're gonna

3
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: take it from the top. What's your name, sir. My

4
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: name is mister Donnie Ward. How long have you been involved?

5
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Been living in the Baltimore around about approximately three years. Now,

6
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: what's what got you into the Baltimore? Well, I was

7
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: living in a residential area years ago and I had

8
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: a a in home care provider. But but they were like, uh,

9
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: how do you call it? They were in charge of

10
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: everything about me because I was not able to take

11
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: care of myself. And what they ended up doing was

12
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: embezzling my money from Social Security and all that and

13
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 1: it's it's called elder abuse. And so she started taking

14
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: my money. She wasn't paying my rent, she wasn't paying

15
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: my utilities and all that. Next thing y'all know. I

16
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: ended up getting a paperwork, you know, from the owner

17
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: saying that my bills haven't been paid and all this

18
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: old stuff. So I went to I went to the

19
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: lady and I asked her, Hey, what what's going on.

20
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: You're responsible, you know, for my finances and all that

21
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: old stuff. And the lady just became very condescending about it,

22
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: but ultimately I ended up losing my place and I

23
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: ended up being homeless. How long it were you unhoused?

24
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: I was unhoused for at least like maybe two years,

25
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: two years and stuff, you know, And I was just

26
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: like going from pillar to post, you know. I was,

27
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, I had a friend and stuff. They let

28
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: me sleep in their in their in their garage shack.

29
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: It was inadequate, you know, but I had to have

30
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: some type of shelter over my head. So I lived

31
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: there for like maybe six months, you know, but then

32
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: it started becoming dangerous and stuff because people were coming

33
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: back there and everything, you know, and I started just

34
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: noticing things, you know what I'm saying, Like they would

35
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: try to come back there and stuff and try to

36
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: set it up, and stuff would drop me, you know,

37
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: and all this old stuff. So I knew that, I

38
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: knew that my life was in danger. So I had

39
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: to get away from there, and I ended up coming

40
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: down to what's this on six and U six and

41
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: San Pedro, the big building on the corner. I'm trying

42
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: to think about the wine guard, the wineguard. So I

43
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: ended up going to the wine guard and they processed

44
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: me and they gave me a room, and I think

45
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: I lived in the Wine Guard for approximately nineteen months,

46
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: and then they ended up placing me where I am

47
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: now at at the Baltimore Formed. The audience that is auditory.

48
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: They can't see you. You said you were you're disabled.

49
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little good about so they

50
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: can hear what it is? Yes? Well, Well, for one,

51
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I have the genner to bone bone disease. I suffered

52
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: from acute scoliosis and uh. I also I have a

53
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: years ago and stuff I was I was caught in

54
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: a uh in a dry by and I was shot.

55
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: The bully went through my liver, shot out part of

56
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: my kidney, you know, and damage from internal organs and stuff.

57
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: You know. So that had a traumatic impact on me,

58
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, and I saw I suffered from bipolarism, uh PTSD.

59
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: You know, whenever I hear gunshots, and I do hear

60
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot of them down here, I hear people screaming,

61
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and and and and it triggers my

62
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: my my PTSD. Uh. One day it got so bad

63
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: that I I just ended up just fleeing from the Baltimore.

64
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: No one had done anything to me, but when my

65
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: PTSD kicked in. All I just knew what what do

66
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you call, uh fight, fight or flight? You know, So

67
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I chose flight, you know, and I went to a

68
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: mental health uh I think it was like August's Hot,

69
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: but it was King Hospital, you know, to seek some help,

70
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, because it was really really bad. And they

71
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: ended up admitting me to Sherman Oaks Hospital and I

72
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: had to stay there for the uh a twenty one

73
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: day valuation and stuff, you know, And and then they

74
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: finally released me and I was able to come back

75
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: home to the Baltimore but I really did not want

76
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: to come back here and stuff, you know, because it

77
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: started happening all over again and stuff. You know. I've

78
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: been hearing for the last couple of nights. I've been

79
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: hearing people screaming bloody murder, you know what I'm saying, uh,

80
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it just it just it really really

81
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: bothers me. It triggers my PTSD and stuff. I really

82
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: really fear for my life down here. I've been robbed

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: down here before, you know, just just going on my way.

84
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I guess they must have seen me go to a

85
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: check you know, and and and sky came up on me,

86
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: pull the gun on me, rob me, and stuff. So

87
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I really really fear for my safety down here, but

88
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing that I can do. So let's return our

89
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: attention back to the Age Healthcare Foundation Baltimore Hotel. What

90
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: are the challenges that you feel in the Baltimore Hotel?

91
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Uh? The challenges is is that

92
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times they're they're inadequate. The water is

93
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: off half the time. Now the elevator is down the

94
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: third at the time. Why do you need to elevate?

95
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: What are the people that can see the elevator and stuff?

96
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Because sometimes my my jener degenerative bone disease and my scoliosis,

97
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: he kicks in and I'm barely able to move from

98
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: time to time, you know, and I can't even take

99
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: the elevator sometimes to get home, I can't take the steps. Yeah,

100
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, so I gotta rely on the elevator. When

101
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the elevator is not in use and stuff, then I'm

102
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: just stuck on my floor in my room and I

103
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: can't get to get the help that I need sometimes,

104
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: you know. So what are anything else besides the difficulty

105
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: they're trying to use the elevator that's out of order

106
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: and you can't use the stairs. The water is off

107
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 1: that house. Electricity, Uh, the electricity, it's it it's it's

108
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: it's so I don't I can't say that I've really

109
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: had a problem with the electricity. But but as far

110
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: as the water, as far as accessibility, you know, I

111
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: do have problems with with with that. And then the

112
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: room that they put me in because of my uh,

113
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: physical limitations. The way they have my bathroom made is

114
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: that I have to step up into my bathroom if

115
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: you will allow me. I can show you, and I

116
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: have a hard time. He's showing me the bathroom. I

117
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: have to be able to step up. This is the floor.

118
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: I have to be able to step up into the bathroom.

119
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: And it's sometimes it's impossible for me to step up

120
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: into this bathroom. I can imagine being accessibility limited that

121
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: that's very difficult for me to just walk into my bathroom.

122
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: I cannot do that. And at one time I was

123
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: real I was injured like I am now and started

124
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: I just been hit by a car. So I'm having

125
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: a problem to get into into my my bathroom right now.

126
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: I gotta crawl myself up these steps to get into

127
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: my bathroom. Wow, that's that's unfortunate. And it's like four

128
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: steps and these steps they look small, these steps are high.

129
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: They are high. Do they're not the regular steps that

130
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: we that they have today either. These are very bit

131
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, just because it's an old buildings building, one

132
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: hundred and nine years old. The steps are very hot,

133
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: and sometimes I can't even get my leg up high

134
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: enough to even step, you know. I have to literally

135
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: crawl up these steps to get into the bathroom to

136
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: take a shower or use the toilet. So it's really

137
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: a hard ship. So here it is that you have

138
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: any challenges with the Baltimore Have you a larchies complaints

139
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: to them? What do they do? They have not done anything.

140
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: I have launch these complaints and stuff to the manager

141
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: and stuff, but I haven't heard anything from them at

142
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: all at all concerning it. And I really, I would

143
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: really really love to be relocated because Carla used to

144
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: work there, and I came to Carla with a letter

145
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: from my from my doctor saying that I need reasonable

146
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: living a commendations, you know, and call it. Try to

147
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: help me to the best of her ability to to

148
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: give me that, you know, even though it's still uh

149
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: kind of semi semi sufficient, you know what I'm saying.

150
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: But she helped me a lot because at one time

151
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a bathroom to even be able

152
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: to use the restroom. It's really been trying. It's really

153
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: really been trying, you know. And I just take take

154
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: it one day at a time, some days or good days,

155
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,920
