Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Warren's story.
For 29 years Warren has been my grandma's neighbor, and has been a big part of our family. He is always helping out the neighbourhood cutting grass, pulling weeds, taking out everyone's garbage and recycle bins, always on the go keeping the neighbour clean. If you knew Warren, he does not like change, he loves to buy collector items, He watches certain shows, likes to sing, and follows a strict routine every day. He is the most honest and caring person I know, and tomorrow is his 64th birthday. Yesterday he lost his house, The city took over because it wasn't safe for him to live in anymore, they are tearing it down and trying to put him in a home. Warren loves his Independence and his home. It may not have been a good home but it was his. I watched him cry yesterday and it broke my heart when they took him away. Today he tried to come back and get some of his things but was not allowed back in his home, because it was boarded-up and condemned. He left with nothing, Today he wanted to sing to us before he was once again taken away, and I find the song that he sang was perfect for him in his situation right now. I wanted to tell his story because he can't and I'm praying everything works out for him!
This story has gone viral in 24 hours with VIDEO. Including many people who remember Warren on the Facebook groups " you know your from Windsor" and " If you grew up on Drouillard" .Warrens Story continues...
I also used to know Warren when my mother was his neighbour almost 25 years ago. I can also say that Warren is a VERY nice man who loves his neighbourhood and his neighbours. He was always polite and helped cut grass and kept himself very busy. He is an eccentric happy guy who suffers from a bit of OCD, likes to collect things, along with some learning disabilities, possibly autism making it VERY hard for him to accept change or to loose the only home he has know for so many years!
Two days ago the city kicked Warren out of his home and boarded it up. TODAY is Warrens 64TH Birthday!
What can we ALL do to HELP Warren??
