A DISABLED MAN is now homeless after his brother left him at the home of his mother on Monday morning.

Don Marshall, 47, a victim of rheumatoid arthritis, and his mother Eminel Marshall turned up at the NATION and appealed for help.

Don, once a robust man, saw his health decline over the years. He stopped working ten years ago and has no means of taking care of himself. His father, who had been paying his rent for a room at a house in Jackson, St Michael, for the last six months, said he could no longer foot that bill, leaving Don homeless.

“This morning while I was in bed, I heard a sound outside and it was his brother who brought him and left him there,” said his mother. (LK)
