Residents with cancer, diabetes and depression say they’re struggling to fend for themselves.
Stephanie Milika’a isn’t sure when she’ll get chemotherapy again.
“I can’t do that because my white blood count is so low that I was told to stay away from people,” Milika’a explained. “That’s not really an option.” In nearby Lake Arrowhead, Rebecca Arrowood’s diabetes supplies were due for delivery Saturday. But they never arrived. San Bernardino County spokesperson David Wert said in an email that people who cannot access “essential medications or other medical care” should call the emergency hotline at 909-387-3911. San Bernardino County Fire Battalion Chief Mike McClintock echoed that guidance and urged using 911 for acute emergencies.“I’m being careful of what kind of food I’m eating,” Arrowood said.
“They would probably have to put me a toboggan or a sled or something like that,” Wyatt said. “There’s just no way my wheelchair could go. I haven’t been out of the house since it started snowing.”
