FOR THE SAKE of her grandchildren, Rosita Bradshaw is pleading for assistance to haveher dilapidated house repaired.

The house she grew up in is located at Storey Gap, Green Hill, St Michael, and is presently occupied by her unemployed 40-year-old daughter and her four children, ages 20, 11, 12 and three.

It has been falling to pieces because the family has no money to repair it.

Bradshaw said she had been to every Government agency which deals with social care, pleading for assistance in getting the old house repaired.

“It’s has been like this for a number of years and I’ve been trying to get some help from all the entities that I could think of like Urban Development Commission (UDC) and the Poverty Alleviation Bureau. I also went to the National Housing Corporation and they all turned me down. They told me the Government doesn’t have any money and there is nothing that can be done and I would have to wait. . .”  (MB)
