Negli Stati Uniti, gli anziani sono la popolazione insicura alimentare in pi\u00f9 rapida crescita. Attualmente, 1 su 12 anziani affronta la fame. Nel prossimo decennio, si prevede che il numero di anziani alle prese con la fame raddoppier\u00e0. Mansoor \u00e8 una delle migliaia di anziani che si affida al cibo di Second Harvest ogni mese. Guarda o leggi la sua storia qui sotto.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Mansoor ha trovato Second Harvest in un momento critico della sua vita. Incapace di sbarcare il lunario, viveva in macchina ed era sceso a soli 95 chili. Un volontario presso una delle agenzie partner di Second Harvest, Campbell United Methodist Church, ha visto Mansoor e gli ha suggerito di venire a una distribuzione Brown Bag per gli anziani.<\/p>\n

\u201cC'\u00e8 un gentiluomo, un uomo meraviglioso, mi ha visto e mi ha chiesto perch\u00e9 fossi cos\u00ec magra. Dico tutto ci\u00f2 che penso immediatamente ... Gli ho detto che ho fame. Non ho cibo. Non posso permettermi di mangiare. Gli ho raccontato una parte della storia. Dice: "Vieni alla distribuzione. Diamo da mangiare alle persone ". Giuro sulla tua bellissima anima, noi <\/strong>diciamo in Persia, sarei morto. Ora peso, va bene, 145 sterline! \u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mansoor \u00e8 emigrato negli Stati Uniti negli anni '70 per cercare lavoro nel mondo degli affari. Era anche un appassionato giocatore di racquetball e, trasferitosi a San Jose nel 1986, divenne un istruttore di racquetball per una catena di palestre nazionale lasciando alle spalle il suo lavoro di gestione per perseguire la sua passione e condividere il suo amore per lo sport con gli altri. Fu un istruttore di racquetball per i successivi 26 anni. Una ristrutturazione in palestra ha portato alla cancellazione dei programmi di squash e Mansoor si \u00e8 ritrovato senza lavoro. Alla fine ha iniziato a consegnare giornali, diventando il suo capo e apprezzando l'opportunit\u00e0 di interagire con il pubblico. \u00c8 stato pagato per il numero di documenti consegnati e per diversi anni ha guadagnato circa $3.500 al mese e la vita stava andando benissimo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ma mentre i progressi tecnologici hanno inaugurato nuove abitudini di consumo e la gente ha smesso di acquistare un quotidiano, il sostentamento di Mansoor ha avuto un colpo. Come appaltatore indipendente per il giornale, non ha alcuna assicurazione o indennit\u00e0 e potrebbe solo vedere come il numero di documenti che doveva consegnare \u00e8 diminuito.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuando stavo ottenendo 275 documenti, potevo ancora permettermi l'affitto. Quando \u00e8 sceso a 210, non potevo pagare l'affitto. Quando \u00e8 sceso al 110, vivevo nella mia macchina. Ora consegno 67 documenti. "<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Non solo il numero di documenti che deve consegnare \u00e8 diminuito, ma anche la sua salute. Con una grave artrite, il suo lavoro \u00e8 diventato pi\u00f9 difficile ma non si arrende.<\/p>\n

\u201cOgni giorno consegno documenti. Salgo 868 gradini. Non in una volta, ma in un giorno. Ho 74 anni. Consegno in un bellissimo complesso di appartamenti. Ma ci sono 36 gradini solo per salire in ascensore. Salire non \u00e8 il problema. Ma quando devo partire, devo scendere ogni gradino della mia parte posteriore. "\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dopo molti anni di difficolt\u00e0, oggigiorno le cose sono leggermente migliori per Mansoor. Oltre a consegnare documenti, ricicla ogni giorno per sbarcare il lunario e non vive pi\u00f9 nella sua auto. Era in grado di entrare in una struttura per anziani a basso costo, ma vive ancora mese per mese. \u201cIl mio affitto \u00e8 $1.363. La mia busta paga \u00e8 $750. Se realizzo $750. Ogni quindici giorni, \u00e8 $375 o $350 o $340. Se qualcuno mi d\u00e0 un consiglio. In caso contrario, niente in pi\u00f9. Hanno disconnesso il mio telefono perch\u00e9 non sono riuscito a pagare le bollette. Ho i miei gradi. Ho la mia educazione. Solo che non ho soldi. "<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Il cibo della Food Bank aiuta Mansoor a sopravvivere e a mantenersi in salute. Quando riceve cibo dalla distribuzione, ne riporta alcuni per i vicini meno mobili del suo complesso. "Il cibo \u00e8 ottimo. Bellissimo! Cavolfiore. Spuntini. \u00c8 fantastico. Aiuto a nutrire i miei vicini. Non riesco nemmeno a mangiare tutto il cibo. Ho tre anziani accanto. Sono cos\u00ec contenti del cibo che porto anche da Second Harvest. Sono vegetariano, quindi do loro tutta la carne. Ci abbracciamo! \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCosa fa la Food Bank ... questa \u00e8 l'America! Questa \u00e8 la vera America. Mi rende cos\u00ec felice. "<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
