Unconcerned Blog 3

Hello everyone I am back writing about the victims of Sandy again, this story really got me emotional. Its about Deedra Cheatham who is part of the Gowanus houses community based organization for Racial and Economic Equality. There’s a limit on neglecting issues that are so severe, where it comes to the victims of Hurricane Sandy they have been neglected. When people are in need of help we seek it from our government but they are not concerned. In her mother’s apartment the steam pipe exploded and she could not reach 911, 311 or 707 “the only way I got help was to stop the cop car that was patrolling around” (No help). In the time of emergency and help is this really how we get helped. We have a government that’s really “unconcerned” (No help) by unconcerned I mean NYCHA came three days later to check on Deedra and her family asking if they were okay and they did not even get a good response back from NYCHA. NYCHA does not have any answers.

  1. You've got some great ideas here and touched on some key points from this story. One suggestion I have is to expand on the situation. You might try adding some more background information on the victim. Another good place to expand would be on the response they received from the NYCHA. Overall your blog is very well structured and conveys your key ideas clearly.
