I\u2019m disabled on one salary a month and limited expenses. We are the people here are not home owners we rent how in the world can we get hit with assessment fee for fire department. They want to raise our rents which isn\u2019t right at all. I have bills to pay need medication i pay for copayments need to eat. There are residents here living together has a care giver or they are on section 8. But a single person who doesn\u2019t get none above mentioned is really a burden on us. if they raise our rents how do we get by and how do we suppose to make it to the following month. Money is evil source on this earth. People are too greedy. You are volunteers in the fire department. People who are disabled that has health insurance the fire department and ambulance service is being paid for thru our health insurance. This a double whammy on us. What if your mother father brother or sister lived here at Presbyterian homes how would you feel about this assessment fee Like I mentioned we are only renters not home owners and we should not be getting hit paying for assessment fee nor pay rent increase. Stop preying on the poor disable and handicap people. Think if it was one of your own family member how would you like it. Also just look at this point of view if you didn\u2019t come with an ambulance or fire truck in an emergency look at the law suit you would have on your hands. It\u2019s time to do your job. If you can\u2019t do your job without hitting assessment fee you are in the wrong field. Do your job!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by DONNETTE VESSELIZA I live here in the Presbyterian homes here in Lehigh Acres fl.
