A father of two whose leg was crushed when the mining pit he was working in caved in, is distressed that he is still unable to walk and that his family would spend a “dull Christmas” this year.  

Calvin ‘Godfrey’ Caniaus, 44, of Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo, told Stabroek News (SN) that he had a lot of dreams for his family but is losing hope because his life seems to be spiraling downward.

He said every year he would spend a joyous Christmas with his family, which included having fun shopping and doing decorating, cooking and baking for the festive season.
