Here
is a letter I've been putting out there in response to
some ridiculous behavior that I am coming to my wits end in
having to witness time and time again. It also includes the my
efforts to stop the Calgary office from destroying my city with their
version of the Mustard Seed here in Edmonton. It was fine until a new
manager took over from Calgary. you may also refer to my post,
"What's up at the Seed?!"

In
Regards to a petition I started for a greatly loved woman who was
fired after 18 years of dedicated service to the homeless....
There
aren't very many signatures, this was just the online signatures
to which I did not promote too well. we had over 250 signatures of
the street people for Maria but the woman who was in charge of
that list lost them through her living arrangements. But that
doesn't matter. I will not stop campaigning against
the Mustard Seed until Mario and Paule Thorne no longer subject
the street people to their power trips. There are more stories that I
have collected since this started so hold on for a long and bumpy
ride!
I
have been banned for life from the Mustard Seed because I refuse to
say that they are valuable to me. As a Christian I hold nothing in
this world of value. only my Lord Jesus and the kingdom of heaven is
valuable. But according to Mario the Manager and volunteer
coordinator Paul Thorne, I will never be allowed in their building
until I verbally state that they are valuable to me. Which will never
happen. (See fb page Reinstate Maria for backstory)...
To
the Hope Mission: I am writing to let you know that I am very
disappointed with your staff and their behavior and attitude when it
comes to those they profess to serve. I walked into the supper
service and reported a man in distress on the corner of 97 street and
106th. avenue. I reported this information to Nathan and Megan who
were standing at the front door engaged in witty banter with each
other. Unfortunately Nathan was completely dismissive and told me to
call 211 myself. (The Hope mission has a street van for exactly this
purpose). I told him I didn't have a phone, otherwise I would have
called myself.
Megan then tried to pretend that she
was concerned and asked where exactly this man was. Then upon my
departure from these two, it was obvious they were not going to call
as Nathan just smiled and laughed under his breath as I was walking
away. I also noticed that they were not making any calls so I went to
another staff member to explain the situation. This is when I noticed
Megan and Nathan take notice of what I was doing. That is when I
heard Megan's voice come over the radio bringing to attention this
poor fellow left to sit in his own excrement on the side of the
road.
Now your staff flirting around with each other,
rather than doing their jobs is none of my concern. What is my
concern is the fact that they don't give a shit about my people who
are victims of a colonialist attitude that has driven and kept my
people in the gutters time and time again. That also goes for another
incident which I indent to leave for a story that I am working on. I
don't care about any response because I don't expect any from your so
called hope mission that only pretends to care as long as you get
subsidies from the government. I'm just letting you know to expect
stories coming out from a dirty low-life indian writer by the name
of, well
me.

It
doesn't help with organizations like the Hope Mission and the Mustard
Seed of Edmonton who take's everyone's money and does the very least
amount to help the homeless while abusing them and feeding them
substandard food (the Hope Mission, not the Seed in regards to food)
and treating them like second class humans. Trust me, That's how they
treat me.
Oh ya, and the Hope Mission also keeps
employed there a fellow by the name of Edin Viso, a racially
insensitive prick who laughs at indigenous issues. I've created a fb
page dedicated mostly to this native hating white supremist... (Ban
Cohen Corner Cafe)

Anonomous(from
facebook) Why do people have such hatred and no respect for
other humans these days.Like really some people ought to be acting
like Christians rather than faking it since hope mission people are
supposed to have a church service. I think Maria should be in charge
of the seed too because at least she understood the needs and
concerns of people. I don't like how they keep on firing staff just
for getting to know people, that's part of their job as street level
workers. No one should be treated as second class humans no matter
what race they are and no matter how poor they are it isn't right. I
will be praying for you and your campaign. I also want you to know
that you are not a dirty Indian.. You are a first nations person and
you have meaning in other people's lives no matter what the mustard
seed staff or anyone else says. The creator sees all and he knows
all. He loves you as you are.

Hi
man,
Yeah
that really sucks. That should not happen and I also see 'poser'
Christians working around inner-city.
It
is tough for me to love them. I pray that your anger stays righteous,
and keeps you going, and that you draw closer to the good Father. He
will bring justice. Now and in the future.
I
will try and give you a call tomorrow. Have a good Easter brother!
