COURTS Guyana Inc. last Thursday donated a living-room suite, fridge and bed to Althea Boucher, a single mother of four daughters who had lived in a condemned factory on the East Coast for over eight years. Habitat For Humanity (Guyana), in collaboration with Scotia Bank, had built a home for Boucher on the West Bank of Demerara.The donation was handed over to Boucher by the Marketing Manager of Courts, Pernell Cummings, and also Courts Public Relations and Promotion Officer (PRPO), Roberta Ferguson.

Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, PR Ferguson said that Courts was happy to bring happiness and joy to a mother’s life; she said just as how Courts is proud of bringing value home to all of their customers, they are also proud of bringing value home to Boucher.
The PRPO added that it’s hard for a single mother who has to take care of four children to live happily; she said that Courts will continue to support not only Boucher, but anyone that is in need of help.
Speaking with the Chronicle, Boucher said that after living in the abandoned factory with her four daughters, her aunt then invited her to live with her before she went with her uncle in Lamaha Street; she said that she is currently living with her uncle and will be moving into her new home over the weekend, which was last Saturday.
“It was a surprise, words cannot express how I am feeling, I’m happy and I’m speechless, I will like to thank Courts, Habitat for Guyana and also Scotia Bank for bringing joy to my life and making my life way easier now,” Boucher said.
Meanwhile, in Courts “Back to School” promotion, four lucky winners had won themselves a full computer workstation, laptop computer and Samsung Tablets.
