While working (Jun 2020-Nov 2021) as front desk assistance at Casa Vida, in-house 90-day treatment facility for those seeking help with alcohol and substance addictions. Some of the resident prior to admittance were in jail/ prison, homeless shelter or on the streets, NO VAX needed UNTIL they wanted help with addiction, in order to enter CASA VIDA: MUST BE VAXD and MASKED. Yet if they get written up for NOT MASKING the will be ejected from program. I witnessed the aftermath of staff, Mario Mendoza (acting director) demand threats of ejection knowing they have NO where else to go; giving them an ultimatum either get vaxd or leave the program you have 20 minutes to choose. Which triggered PTSD/ as they had been trafficked during their addiction. Mario Mendoza seems to take orders from Project Vida, which is attached to Casa Vida as medical assistance for residents who are coerced into entering the system: food stamps, in order to get medical. Resident are made to fill out consent forms upon arrival, some are still high, most do not understand what they are signing, yet told they must in order to continue in the program. As of Friday May 6, 2022, all new residents MUST be VAXD fully, masking is optional yet not fully removed. As one who too is recovered from addiction, I no longer "work" here, I (volunteer) lead two different groups for Mens' and Ladies' facilities (Casa Vida and Alas Nueva) Recovery 101 and Life Skills, bring truth and light to the residents to encourage each to find inner strength as we are mind, body soul mankind created in GOD image and likeness. | ||
