Members of the Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara family that lost their house, shop and youngest in a fire on Thursday are asking for the public’s help to rebuild their lives.
The fire of unknown origin started around 2 pm in a bedroom of the Rampersaud family’s Agriculture Road, Mon Repos home where Mahin Rampersaud, who was one-year and eight-months-old, had been put to take a nap. Four persons were home at the time, including Savita Rampersaud, her in-laws, and her grandson, Mahin.
Despite efforts, the family was unable to save the toddler, who perished in the fire. The fire destroyed the two-storey building, which also housed their shop.
