Story
A serviceman aged 90 was a resident in a nursing home in Kineton, namely Rivers Meadow dealing with Dementia He was there for his own safety and to end his days, having fought in war as a serviceman for our country.
He had and others had an estimated £47'000 stolen by the staff employed to look after him,Care Home Manager Melanie Oliver aged 49
She admitted responsibility for the theft over an 11 month period and was jailed this week starting April 25th 2016 for 3yrs
(let's hope she never works in the care system again)
She was ordered to pay back £1 as she had no monetary Assets.
This serviceman served his country, was robbed of his state of
mind and of every penny he had, with a funeral service taking place in poverty,
Let's put this right and raise funds in his honour, his memory as a serving soldier, to put his name in stone and raised high in a public place where he rightly belongs.
With all agencies helping to put this horrendous error of a tragedy to a state of being a national Hero.
the police, the company behind this nursing home and it's poorly run establishments level of care, the theft of this mans dignity in life and death, leaving a Vulnerable 90 year old to die penniless .
shame on Oliver for her actions against humanity, Shame on the Justice system for serving such a short sentence.
respect that the truth came out, let us join together and right this shameful wrong.
Every pound you donate will help restore faith in society, help the family of this serviceman regain dignity and pride in their relative, he was someone's father someone's grand father who gave his duty to this nation.
Thank you for your support, from media, social media the general public, people from Warwickshire and around the country who we hope will get involved.
Protect our elderly and those in care, also any monies left over will go to assist church graves of unattended service personnel
And children's charities
