[WATCH] Comino resident’s pension taken up by Gozo trips for dialysis

I remember the Vella Family very well because I used to visit them with my father when we went fishing just about once every two weeks. This was a long time ago and I always thought the Vella family lived in what I use to call il-Genna ta l-Art. The island of Comino (Kemmuna) was almost isolated in those days and very few tourists visited until the Hotel was build. And of course then came the Pig Farm. That turned out to be the Arriva Fiasco of those times. There was the Vella family and an Italian man named Salvatore who worked the land for a living. I thought that this island was part of paradise. it was so peaceful and so serene I used to love walking from the shore to the residents, who were always happy to see my dad as in those days he provided them with most everything they needed. It is such a shame that the Government abandoned this family and contrary to what everybody thinks healthcare comes very expensive to the Vella family.I would like to ask id-Dar tal-Providenza or any other charitable institution to try and help the Vella family in their Healthcare needs. Every Summer they have to put up with some of the smut that visit this little island and show no regard for these residents. i ask that Dr Muscat finds a way to help even if he does not get elected PM. Somebody has to care.
