Guyanese in New York hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy last week are struggling to return to normalcy.
Sherry Khan is trying to rebuild her life after her Far Rockaway, New York apartment, she shared with her husband and daughter was flooded and she lost all of her personal belongings.

She was among several Guyanese who suffered losses to household articles or sections of their homes to Hurricane Sandy which swept through the Caribbean and parts of the United States.

Some persons who this newspaper contacted via social media said that the experience of the storm was “frightening” and that they are badly shaken by it.
