    Hi, I'm sure you're aware of the Hayward apt fire started by one of your church members Jodi gay. Her carelessness lead to tenants losing their residents, and In some cases furniture, bedding , pets and more. Should this person now be rewarded by fellow church members? In my opinion, no. She was told many times not to smoke in her apt ,or burn incense to mask cig smoke. She cared zip about other tenants. Days before the fire, and these were her words to me, she was smoking pot and doing heroin (drug) which shocked me. She had moved in a guy literally off the street to be her cleaning slave (her words) and I have texts to back it up. Basically, how she lived her life, using her home health care workers as slaves which allows day/night pursuit of men online. Her words /philosophy. Great character huh.. The man she allowed to stay with her during the week before the fire was a drug user, and connected to dangerous people who he owed $ to. Again, jodi's own words. A day prior to the fire jodi was staging a fraudulent apt robbery. I was right there as she began fabricating 1500.00 necklaces & bracelets being stolen + 2,000 cash. She included a long list of fraudulent items as I reminded her of the felony she was attempting to put forward. Apparently, the guy staying with her moved out 5 or so days prior to the fire . Jodi mentioned him taking a memory card only. Later, decided to shake down her insurance company with a list of 50+ items stolen, fraud of course. Jodi then checks into a mental clinic for five days as I took care of her cat. The day she gets back the bldg suddenly burns down . Honestly, and in my opinion, I feel it intentional for insurance reasons. Jodi had mentioned needing $ for all her debts + the druggie living with her owed $ to some bad folks. So I ask again, is this person real!y worthy of being showered with help from the church... I don't need any assistance from anyone in hayward, but I was shocked that no-one in town offered any assistance to those that left the bldg with their clothes on their back. A few people could've used a little help. The people who attend your church are phonies to me, very ice cold and uncaring. No-one in Hayward offered anything. Obviously, learning nothing from the bible they read or from your teaching via Sunday mass. I guess attending church to them is just for show. All talk, no action. Again, I'm financially fine, directed more towards a few of the other tenants that lost a lot. Jolene Ingelby was the exception, she offered people a tv, and kind words, a sweet person. Mary and darwin on the other hand approached me just for gossip to spread. Once I began telling them details of what happened, darwin walked away. He got the basics of the gossip he needed, My opinion.
