SIXTY-SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Clement Evans and his two grandchildren escaped serious injuries Monday morning, when their three-bedroom wooden house supported by timber posts collapsed and fell some 10 feet to the ground.
The family members, of Grant Two Brothers, Lower Pomeroon River, were getting dressed to travel to the busy Charity Monday market when the incident occurred.
The pensioner said he felt the house moving as it slid quickly and, in seconds, he was on the floor, miraculously escaping what surely could have been death or serious injuries.
Evans, who is a farmer, said it was the ‘Hand of God’ that saved him and his two grandchildren.
The building, built several years ago, was situated not far from the Pomeroon River. Now Clement and the children are without a shelter and are appealing to the general public to help them rebuild.
