Family, Friends, and Neighbours Protest Sask. Party Government’s Kicking Fred Sandeski Out of Home
WEYBURN — Family, friends, and concerned Weyburn residents held a rally today outside a local care home as staff, under direction of the provincial government, carted the belongings of a dying community hero out to the sidewalk.
The Sask. Party government denied 71-year-old Fred Sandeski an extension to remain in his current facility despite previously promising to cover his care. He suffers from advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and has been expecting to die for months.
Fred lives on a limited income and cannot afford private housing or long-term care without government support. Now, he is facing the terrifying possibility of homelessness. Fred’s wife Teresa, who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair, can’t physically care for him at home.
Teresa believes Fred should be entitled to care, but the Saskatchewan Health Authority has not considered his complex health issues in their past assessments, like heart surgery and serious lung problems.
“Fred helped people all his life and the least this government can do is honour their word and give him the care he needs,” said Keith Jorgenson, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Seniors, who joined the rally in support of Fred.
“People in Weyburn are behind Fred, but the Sask. Party government is literally pushing Fred to the curb and the local MLA isn’t putting up a fight.”
Fred has been credited as a longtime community advocate for Weyburn who fought for investment in his community and support for its residents for much of his life.
