Imbono yoBuqu: Intsebenziswano yezonyango-zomthetho yenza uluntu olusempilweni
NguGqirha Amy Grube
UShelly wayejongene nemiceli mngeni emininzi ngexesha le-COVID-19: ukuphelelwa ngumsebenzi, ukukhathalela abantwana abane eyedwa, ukongamela isikolo esikude, kunye nokulawula iimeko zempilo ezintsonkothileyo zonyana wakhe uCalvin- ezazifuna ukutyelelwa rhoqo koogxa bam kwiziko lethu labantwana eMidTown, Izibhedlele zeDyunivesithi iRainbow Babies kunye neZiko laBantwana i-Ahuja yabasetyhini nabantwana.
UCal usisithulu kwaye une-ADHD; udla ngokuthetha akhwaze ngesandi esiphakamileyo engathethi nto, kwaye ingxolo iyabaphazamisa abamelwane bakaShelly. Kwangelo xesha, uShelly wawa ngasemva kwirenti. Ngenxa yeenkxalabo ezininzi, abaphathi bezakhiwo bamthumelele isaziso sokuba aphume.
UShelly wayesoyika. Imeko yayibonakala imfiliba.
Kodwa eli bali linesiphelo esimnandi.
Iiprogram ezimbini ezisekelwe eCleveland, eziphuculweyo zazingumahluko phakathi kwezindlu kunye nokungabi namakhaya kuShelly kunye nabantwana bakhe: intsebenziswano yonyango-yomthetho esekelwe kwiZibhedlele zeYunivesithi, idibene neLungelo lokuCebisa kwiNkundla yeZindlu yaseCleveland - ekhokelwa nguNcedo lwezoMthetho kunye ne-United Way.
Ubudlelwane bonyango-ngokomthetho buqhubela phambili ubulungisa bezempilo ngokudibanisa ubuchule obubodwa bamagqwetha kwiindawo zokhathalelo lwempilo. Uphando lubonisa ukuba iimeko zentlalo nezoqoqosho zinegalelo kwi-80% yeziphumo zempilo zomntu. Ubambiswano lokuqala lwezonyango lwezomthetho lwenziwa eBoston ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1990, kwaye ukususela ngoko, imodeli esekelwe kubungqina iye yanda kwilizwe lonke; ngoku kukho ngaphezu kwe-450 imibutho yokhathalelo lwempilo kunye nentsebenziswano esemthethweni yonyango-semthethweni kumazwe angama-49 kunye neWashington, DC.
Enkosi kwi-philanthropy evela kwifemu yomthetho yase-Benesch, izibhedlele zeYunivesithi zenze intsebenziswano yezonyango-zomthetho ngo-2018, idibanisa igqwetha loNcedo lwezoMthetho kwiqela lethu kwi-UH Rainbow Ahuja Centre for Women & Children. Uncedo lwezoMthetho lunceda izigulana kunye neentsapho esizisebenzelayo ukuba ziphile ubomi obusempilweni nobungenaxinzelelo. Ityala likaShelly ngumzekelo omhle.
Kodwa, amaxesha amaninzi kufuneka ungenelelo olungaphezulu kwesinye ukudala impilo entle yoluntu, kwaye yiyo loo nto iLungelo lokuCebisa kwiNkundla yeZindlu yaseCleveland libaluleke kakhulu. Ibonelela ngesinye isixhobo kwizixhobo zethu zokuzinzisa izindlu. Ngokusemthethweni kwisixeko saseCleveland, esikhokelwa yi-United Way, ukuxhasa ukufikelela kunye nokuvavanya, kunye neenkonzo zomthetho ezibonelelwa ngoNcedo lwezoMthetho, ngoku kukho "ilungelo" kummeli kwiNkundla yeZindlu yaseCleveland kwiintsapho ezithile ezifumana umvuzo ophantsi. Ngo-2021, uNcedo lwezoMthetho luthintele ukukhutshwa kwi-93% yelungelo lezindlu zaseCleveland lokucebisa amatyala (ukufumana ingxelo epheleleyo ngo-2021 impumelelo, yiya ku-freeevictionhelpresults.org). Enye yezo meko yayiyekaShelly.
Xa uShelly ekhankanya ukukhutshwa okunokwenzeka kutyelelo lonyana wakhe, umlingane wam wamthumela kwiofisi yoNcedo lwezoMthetho ekwi-UH Rainbow Ahuja Centre for Women & Children. Ababoneleli bezempilo kwi-UH baqeqeshelwa ukuqaphela xa imiba yezomthetho idala imiqobo kwimpilo kwizigulane zethu. Sinxibelelana namagqwetha oNcedo lwezoMthetho ngokusebenzisa i-portal yokudluliselwa elungelelanisiweyo, kwaye sisebenza kunye nawo ukuze sikhusele izisombululo kwimingeni izigulane zethu ezijongene nazo. Imiba yezindlu ixhaphake kakhulu, kwaye yenyuka ngexesha lobhubhane.
Ngokukhawuleza emva kokuthunyelwa, uNcedo lwezoMthetho lwaqonda ukuba u-Shelly wayefaneleka ukuba abe nelungelo likaCleveland lokucebisa ngezindlu, kwaye elinye igqwetha loNcedo lwezoMthetho liye lasebenza kwityala lakhe. Igqwetha liqale lanceda uShelly ukuba angenise amaphepha achanekileyo aza kugqunywa ngamaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo lokumisa ukukhutshwa komanyano, kwaye lanceda uShelly ngesicelo esinzima senkxaso-mali yoncedo lwerenti. Igqwetha loNcedo lwezoMthetho lifumene ileta kumboneleli wonyango we-UH wonyana wakhe ukuxhasa isicelo soncedo lwerenti. Nangona unqunyanyiso lwalusele luphelile ngexesha lokuphuma kwemali, umnini-mhlaba kaShelly wayamkela imali kwaye akazange alandele ukugxothwa nangona kwakukho inkxalabo. Enkosi kuNcedo lwezoMthetho kunye nokusebenza kunye, uShelly wakwazi ukugcina uphahla phezu kosapho lwakhe ngelixa wayekhangela umsebenzi omtsha.
Iimeko zezindlu ezingazinzanga, ezifana nokungabikho kwezindlu, ukuhamba ngeendlela ezininzi kunye noxinzelelo lwerenti, ziye zadibaniswa neziphumo ezibi zempilo kubakhathaleli kunye nabantwana abancinci. Ngokomzekelo, ukukhutshwa kuhambelana nezinga eliphezulu lokudakumba, ukulaliswa kwezibhedlele zabantwana kunye nokutyelela isebe eliphuthumayo. Amazwe anamazinga aphezulu okugxothwa anamazinga aphezulu okufa ngengozi ngenxa yeziyobisi notywala. Izindlu lukhathalelo lwempilo. Ubudlelwane bomqeshi wezonyango-zomthetho kunye noNcedo lwezoMthetho bungqinisise ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba indibaniselwano yoncedo lwasemthethweni loluntu kunye nokhathalelo lwezonyango lunokuzinzisa iintsapho kwaye lwenza uluntu lwethu lube ziindawo ezisempilweni entle zabantwana neentsapho ukuze ziphumelele.
UCleveland unethamsanqa lokuba noNcedo lwezoMthetho olomeleleyo kunye neNdlela eManyeneyo, kunye nenkqubo yeLungelo lokuCebisa esele igcine amakhulukhulu eentsapho ezifana nekaShelly egcinwe ngokukhuselekileyo ukususela ekusungulweni kwayo kunyaka onesiqingatha odlulileyo. Siluluntu kufuneka siqhubeke sixhasa ilungelo lokucebisa kumatyala ezindlu, njengoko izindlu zililungelo lomntu. Ndinebhongo ngokuhlala kwisixeko esikhokelayo xa kuthethwa ngentsebenziswano yamaziko ukuphucula impilo yabantu.
