"What will I do? Starving "
Veronica Estevan has not charged 400 euros or aid dependency

Alone and unaided. Veronica Estevan Valencia, 37, has received 400 euros in July Prepares Plan and neither the agency that helps his mother recognized him last December. "Not a single month," he says. Although not required to pay housing, electricity bills, water and gas continue to arrive in your mailbox. The latter, which would have to pay the administrator, has returned accompanied by a promise that will pay later. Now she can.
Estevan is one of the thousands affected by delays in payments Prepares Plan to the Ministry of Employment said it was due to an "accounting problem." In July should have taken the last term aid it deserves, but their bank accounts are still in the red. "At the bank I can not say that I do not know when to charge," he says. The truth is I do not know. Neither knows when you enter the 300 euros that have been recognized as a caretaker relative of his mother (with a severe dependence of Grade 2, Level 1). "What I do not charge when the 400 euros? Going hungry, "he replies.
The cuts and Estevan
- August 2012: Late payment Prepares Plan leaves thousands without receiving aid.
- July 2012: Government cuts pay 15% of family caregivers of the Unit.
- April 2012: Retirees pay 10% of drugs (in advance), with a maximum of eight per month.
- January 2012: Carers of dependent people in the Valencia region reported delays in the receipt of aid.
"The administration and I do not get along," he admits. Estevan is one of the 275,000 people who expect aid to the dependence recognized, but not receive. The Government has paralyzed the input to the system of minor dependents to devote their efforts to more serious, but that's not happening. And nobody gives an answer to on the phone: "They tell me I do not know what the missing signature." But this Valencia suspect that such explanations are "excuses to delay payment." Again, the employment office will say when charged prepare.
His mother, aged 85, is his only family. Three years ago they put a pacemaker, it was diagnosed a tumor in the spine, whose operation has left her bedridden. And a few months ago underwent intestinal ischemia. Between paying for medications, a wheelchair and a mattress, some of them articulated reimbursable expenses has not been charged, Stephen spent their savings. He has no for diapers, so in your neighborhood pharmacy - "I know my situation and lend a handle", give explanation packets received sample and not have to pay them. Other businesses you trust pending the purchase of that aid to the dependence of a break your bank account.
The copayment for drugs announced by the Government in April, also for retirees (who must pay 10% of the invoice up to a maximum of eight per month), is another headache for Estevan. Eight euros a month is not a large expense in most homes, but to advance the cost of drugs, a few months over 3,000 euros in Estevan house is mission impossible.
"It is terrible to plead and beg your leaders"
It was not always so. Degree in Industrial Relations and several masters, for it emphasizes that the work is "sacred" and has always strived to do well. "But life gave me a blow," he says in reference to the death of his father in 2008 and the deteriorating health of his mother since 2009. Before I had a good salary (36,000 per year in his prime) and dreams ahead. Now, after reducing his day (and pay) and then leave your job, your day is focused on taking care of his mother and call repeatedly asking when will the money. "I can not find a job if not help me. I can not leave my mother alone, "she explains. "I tried to start a business at home, to make payroll, but it was impossible." Nor leave and go to the pharmacy to ask a neighbor to stay at home "in case anything happens." Stephen says he feels "trapped" in their neighborhood.
Desperate, he swallowed his pride - "is terrible plead and beg your leaders," he says, and wrote an email to the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, for help. "I voted, did not disappoint me please. Do something, "the letter said. He has also written for political office Valencia related social welfare. None of his letters have been answered. Stephen begins to think that runs out of options. No mattress and no money family, neighbors are their only safety net. "But supermarkets do not provide free food," he says.
"I know things are bad, I know what is the risk premium and I know the situation in Spain," wields. But Stephen insists he seek help on a whim, but by necessity. "If you get the unit could hire someone and work part-time," he says hopefully. Proudly boasts that when he went for his appointment with the counselor prepares work plan, it told him he was hyper qualified.
But his words quickly back to reality: "I'm desperate. The damage and debts I carry inside. "
Letter to Mariano Rajoy
Dear Mr. Rajoy:
My name is Veronica Estevan, I have 37 years and I am writing from Valencia, I know it will be you who read this message, or simply not be read, but I am part of the Spanish people and I am obliged to inform my position as a citizen.
You see, I worked as head of HR after spending half a lifetime studying race and masters and be highly valued for my work, life gave me a blow and my mother quite ill, so I reduced the first day and then I saw obliged to stop working to care for her, since I have no brothers or immediate family, my mother is bedridden and needs me. It was the hardest decision of my life, I loved working, my payroll, my risk prevention, my selection, my work ... I had to turn down 3 jobs in the last 3 years because my mother is going from bad to worse (the latter has been a small infarct in the last month); request assistance based on the law of dependence and not because he wants to take advantage of state, but because I need it.
I'm exhausted, I measure 1.50 (or feet) and physically lift, clean and give you a half decent life my mother has done to lose 15 kilograms in a year, do not sleep with worry and I'm still waiting a little help from the dependence, to give me relief economic, physical and emotional. I am a person, I have feelings, I had dreams and career ahead, I am now leaving the skin and life for my mother, I do because I love her more than anything in the world, because she deserves it, because it need and because it makes me happy to help those in need, but I lack the strength and resources. I can not go more than 5 minutes from my house in case my mom needs to urinate, mourn, get up or anything, so I am caught in my neighborhood.
I do not understand why I did not pay the wheelchair I purchased in September 2011 and told me to pay, do not understand why you can not have a necklace or bracelet for remote assistance if I am buying, the doctor or pharmacy and something happens (the explanation is not living alone ...) I do not understand that much evil have I done the world or this country or anyone else to help me no one at all.
I studied hard, believed in the law, he believed in the economy, he believed in politics, believe in a prosperous tomorrow. Now just think of the pain that I see every day and that God does exist is to drown.
I know what state is Spain and that we must tighten our belts, but I am about to tighten my belt on the neck, please help me I beg you, do something please.
I have always advocated an economic policy right because I think this is how it generates employment and consumption, now give me a stomach ache watching the news and it drives me crazy not to work, see my mother suffer and see the red in my account . I voted for you. not disappoint me please, my mother is a great person (I do both).
Thanks for reading (do not think you have done, but ...)
Waiting for your news, says goodbye sincerely,
Veronica Estevan Huerta
