Dear editor,
Something that bothers me is how older people can get free transportation but younger people dont have those opportunities.
I have arthritis really bad in my knee and it takes all my energy to walk places. I am only 38 years old, but its hard.
Sometimes people like me who dont have any means of transportation just dont have the money to pay people to take us places.
I dont know a lot of people in town so if I need to go somewhere to buy groceries or some other errand, I have to pay at least $10 a trip for someone from out of town to come and take me.
Iola needs to establish a means of free transportation for everyone. This morning I had to walk to Dollar General to get a few things which is about a mile from my house. My arthritis has been acting up a lot recently because of all of the rain. It took all my energy to walk out there and back home and now I am in a lot of pain.
Thank you,
Angela Stanley
Iola, Kan.
