Community steps up for quadriplegic man trapped in condo as strata has change of heart
Posted: Jan. 12, 2023 7:24PMCommunity members have stepped up to help find a temporary home for a quadriplegic Langford man trapped in his condo for weeks due to a broken elevator.
“I tried to advocate for myself and I hit a brick wall,” said Nealy, who called CHEK News as a last resort. “Phil is a valued member of our community,” said Robert Sauder, Waterstone Condo’s strata president. “During this entire event strata council has been taking the advice of our insurance counsellor. We then sought advice from our lawyer and as a result of that advice we are taking action to accommodate Phillip Nealy’s needs immediately.”
“When I read the story, that really resonated with me and I thought ‘Well, we’re in a position to help, why not?'” said Ashley Priest, director of operations at Parkside Spa & Hotel.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.“He could come here at no cost.
