Day 9: Red Lake Falls

ShareThis
The Human Rights Monitors went door to door, while doing this we learned that there is homeless shelter, no food shelf, and no social services at all in the area. We met a woman with Polio, who was in a wheelchair and therefore stuck in her trailer six months out of the year due to a lack of help and health care services during the extremely harsh Minnesota winters. We met a young women named Stacey who was refused assistance from the city for residing of her trailer, since the siding had been recalled and it was past a certain date, despite the fact that you could literally put your hand through the side of her home.
