A Rose Hall Town vendor has made an emotional plea to the public for help after a fire completely destroyed his home last Thursday, leaving him along with his son, 26, and two grandchildren with no choice but to live in their stall located on the main road.
Lloyd Desmond Moore, 57, a father of two from Crawford Street, Rose Hall Town, told Stabroek News yesterday that he is trying to be “comfortable” in his stall until he can afford to build another structure to reside in. He said, “Is me stand really. I had to take it and block up the walls and live inside. Truthfully it is really hard but I prefer live here before you got to beg family to live with them and hear insults.”
He explained that his daughter has since ventured to the interior to work while he is taking care of her six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter. He noted that since the fire he has not been able to afford to send his grandchildren to school. “I working hard trying to send them. I went to this lady and she say go back for some school clothes. I want to try send them from Monday…Them is smart children, it’s not the best situation but they know we will get out of it someday,” said a hopeful Moore.
