The once healthy woman, Rakumarie Sukaloo, who has been bed ridden since June of this year is in a critical condition suffering from a broken hip that cannot be fixed because of her age and bone density. Upon the visit by the representatives of the organisation to the home where the woman and her son resides, the dismay of echoed tears filled the surroundings as she pleads to relive her pain. She expressed her grief as a result of the condition and was very grateful and pleased to have received the chair which will help to alleviate the discomfort she is experiencing because of her disability.
As a local business woman she used to sell coconut brooms to make her living and would walk some three miles both ways from Edinburg to New Amsterdam to make her daily bread.
He son who takes care of his mother and also works full time to provide income for their home also commented on the venture and gracefully thanked all those involved in making the donation possible.
