More than a week after the residents of Swan, Linden-Soesdyke Highway saw several dwellings demolished and damaged in a violent storm they are still awaiting help to get back on their feet.
“Well right now I trying to get some wood to see if I could do some fine repairs but they ain’t much I could do cause I don’t have money. I got some nails and I asking me friends to assist but that’s all,” Deo Persaud, one of the persons whose house was wrecked by the storm, told Stabroek News on Friday. He said that since no one from the government or region has visited the area and offered assistance he was force to seek help elsewhere. He pointed out that on his way up to the community he asked his friend to assist him with his canter and went to various sawmills asking for donations.
