Dijon. Visually impaired, she calls for help for housing
The days go by, but nothing succeeds. Despite her ongoing requests, and the mobilization of a social worker from the Communal Center for Social Action, CCAS of the city of Dijon, the visually impaired Carole Depoil has still not found accommodation. Its owner informed him of his intention to sell the one that constitutes his current residence.
After having received a leave for sales purposes, at the expiration of the deposit by way of a judicial officer, the disabled Dijonnaise must have left her home on January 17.
” I am tired “
If finding accommodation is not easy for ordinary people, the ordeal today appears insurmountable to Carole Depoil, 49, who lives alone, without children, does not have any prudence, and is weakened by a disease that forced her into a recent operation.
“I was warned that I had to leave my accommodation on June 10 when I was leaving the Georges-François Leclerc center. On July 6, I go to the pool table to be known. I am tired, and I no longer have the strength… ”
A long waiting list
Carole Depoil evokes a particular context: “with the Covid, no one has moved. And the list of priority people is long. I was offered to go to Marsannay-la-Côte… Or I have trouble getting around, and I have to keep my bearings ”.
The Dijonnaise, who has undergone twenty operations including enucleation of her right eye, has been fighting for several years on a daily basis not to become blind. The efforts made in this search for an apartment exposed him, had harmful effects on his general condition.
His doctor assures him: “his ocular state of health requires regular and intensive rehabilitation sessions which have enabled him to preserve and develop his visual field and the acuity of his single left eye. Or, if this multidisciplinary care allows him to preserve for the time being his autonomy for most of the tasks of everyday life, these sessions are nonetheless intense and tiring ”.
The practitioner recommends a rest of the time for his patient: “calm at home, avoiding stress, noise and conflicts”. Quite the opposite of the situation facing the Dijonnaise today.
“I am losing everything. I stopped sport with the Covid and my condition worsened, said Carole Depoil, dejected: “I am a dynamic person, but there I remained lying in the dark”.
She assures him: “I have the money to rent” while launching a call for help, “the medical emergency is not heard”.
