Please consider extending culturally sensitive care for our Japanese American senior citizens. After enduring injustices during their youth or young adulthood, securing these measures of comfort seem like a small act of kindness for these American seniors.

Do the right thing. Keep our seniors in safe, culturally-rich environments so they can live out their lives with dignity and comfort. Do not succumb to profit and greed in people’s time of need. Respect our elders, please.

Come on California. These are the same beautiful folks that were illegally interred. This is the very least we can do to for them now. Please help them.

Lincoln Heights will always be an intergenerational, Latino and Asian community. I sign this to stand up for our community's elders.

Please save the generation who went through an historical hardship and who should live their lives in the surroundings of love and care for the rest of their lives without disruption.

Don’t make my soon to be 93 year old mother homeless. Help hire the bilingual staff who can communicate and understand her needs.

Please honor the culture of the few surviving Japanese and Japanese-Americans who lived through the horror of WW2 and the unjust internment. All people deserve humane care as they age, and that means sensitivity to their language and culture. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find culturally sensitive care for Japanese Americans and my mother did not before her death. Please extend the protection for these elderly individuals.

Keiro is such an important institution for Japanese Americans in the LA area.

Having a place for seniors that has a cultural sensitive environment is essential for their well-being both mentally and physically.

Dear Pacifica, Please consider the pandemic and its repercussions. I lived in Tokyo for 12 years and became bi-cultural and fairly fluent in Japanese. After working with many elderly women in the Denver area who were on fixed incomes, I understand the urgent need that those who are living in these facilities are facing. Please be compassionate and find a way to meet your financial needs and at the same time meet the needs of these vulnerable aging people. Please. Thank you for being "human" and I know you are super smart so there must be a way to make a win-win situation. If we all live a bit more simply, I am sure it can be done, right? Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
