Banks questions Patricia Dickey on living without kitchen cabinets
Banks asks Dickey about living without proper kitchen cabinets and relying on a temporary slop sink since September 9. Dickey says it is extremely hard because she goes to dialysis, cares for grandchildren, and can only use one arm.
I just have a couple of questions for the panelists, particularly Mr.
Estrada and Ms.
Dickey.
And I'll actually start with Ms.
Dickey, who resides in Pink Houses.
Ms.
Dickey, since September 9th, you've been living without proper kitchen cabinets and relying on using a temporary slop sink, which I believe Knight gave to you.
How has this setup impaired your ability to manage your household and take care of your family?
It's extremely hard.
First off, I have, like, I go to dialysis, so I need my function of my kitchen to work because I have to eat, like, eat in a certain way, and then I have grandchildren that's here.
And it's like I'm using half of my kitchen, and then I can't lift stuff, and everything is all scattered, and they attend school.
So when I have my counter along with my sink, I was able to put things there because I can only use one of my arms.
And it's like I'm left to just be moving halfway, like across my kitchen.
And it's really hard.
