Barbadians are being urged to continue being their brother’s keeper, especially during these difficult times.
The call came from Member of Parliament for Christ Church West Central, Adrian “Medic” Forde, following a blaze yesterday morning which left a family of four counting their losses. The two-bedroom, uninsured wall structure in which they lived was extensively damaged in Vauxhall Gardens, Christ Church.
Forde said officers from the Welfare Department along with him and his constituency team had already secured accommodations for the family.
“The welfare officer gave vouchers for foodstuff, made arrangements for over the weekend, and gave instructions that by Monday he and his officers would look for some place for them. He also gave them the responsibility to look for somewhere that is suitable for themselves, and the Welfare [Department] will pay the rent for the better part of six months,” he said. (RA)
