A destitute and pregnant young woman is wandering the streets of Nassau with no hope, claiming that society has let her down.<\/P><\/p>\n
The barefoot woman, 23, who is only two weeks away from giving birth, is seeking help after the Salvation Army allegedly failed to provide for her basic needs.<\/P><\/p>\n
Concerned members of the community, who yesterday accompanied her to the shelter on Meadows and West Streets, told The Tribune that she was “treated in a most disgusting fashion” on arrival.<\/P><\/p>\n
“This woman has absolutely nowhere to go. She is barefoot, she has no shoes. When she asked the shelter for a pair of shoes she was told that they can’t provide everything, that she would either have to choose between water or the shoes – I heard it with my own ears,” one resident claimed.<\/P><\/p>\n
Division commander of the Salvation Army, Major Lester Ferguson, said that although a pregnant woman has been staying at the shelter, he was not aware of any neglect.<\/P><\/p>\n
