Widow who lost home to fire appeals for help to rebuild

Jan 06, 2020, News, Source -- Kaieteur News, https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...for-help-to-rebuild/

The pain of losing a home is difficult to endure, says 53-year-old Dularie Lall of Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara.

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Lall was left to raise six children on her own.

The home under fire.

Now she finds herself once again in a trying situation after her home, which she had occupied for over 20 years, went up in flames.

The mishap occurred on the December 16, 2019 at Novar, Mahaicony.

At the time, Mrs. Lall was at home with her four younger children.
Speaking with this publication yesterday, an emotional Ms. Lall recounted watching the home in which she had lived with her husband, go up in flames.

The family was unable to save anything.

According to the distraught woman, she and her children are presently seeking shelter at the home of her eldest daughter, who lives two villages away. While she is grateful for the assistance, the home is too small for so many occupants.

Mrs. Lall is appealing to the public to assist the family to rebuild their home.

“Whatever you have you can give me, due to my situation I am accepting. If you don’t have money to donate that is not a problem, please send some clothes and a mattress so that the children can have something to lie down on when night come.”

Mrs. Lall and her children

“I am willing to go and look for a work but I lately did a surgery and the doctors advised me to stay out of the night due and to avoid lifting heavy objects.”

I get a big son but he ain’t working either because he was born with a condition. I really need some help to build back my house, I am asking if you can send some zinc sheets and even some boards for me to at least start the construction. And I believed that once it’s started it will finish.”

According to reports, Ms. Lall was asleep in her home when she felt her hand burning.

Upon waking up, she saw flames inside her bedroom and immediately raised an alarm.

“When I woke up and see the fire the only thing I could have done is get my children and get out of that building.”

Kaieteur New publisher Glenn Lall is willing to donate GYD$100,000 with the aim of starting the rebuilding process.

The family can be contacted on telephone numbers 592-600-9937 and 592-621-1050.

If everyone of us put in 20 US or Canadian.  That is a lot of Guyana money.

Easy to do, but how do we know that the family will actually get all of the money donated. Who will be the middle man. I am willing to pledge some money.

I am having an issue, this American Citizen thing keeps popping up

If Mrs Lall can provide a bank account #. Money can be directly deposited to this account from Canada and US. Amral asked her if anyone set up such account for her .

Here is my idea , what's your thoughts.

I think  the members can make contributions ,send it to an individual and transfer the money directly to the recipient via moneygram.

A group of us raised some dollars for community center recently . That's how we did it.

Ok Guys, I have someone who will reach out to Mrs Lall to get all her information.. and you guys can make direct contribution to her . 

Having the money send to someone other than Mrs Lall can be a issue ( speculation and accusations) 

when I get the information, I will posted.

If not, I can ask Pandit Sugrim from Humanitarian Mission if he can assist.  They are building homes for the needy in Guyana.

Usually with Moneygram ,sender give "a code " to recipient ,they go to their country office and get the funds. They have to provide Name, address and telephone number.

If you guys want , i can collect the funds ,present a statement of the amount sent to Mrs. Lall . I can provide my business address to sent funds to. All contributors will be mentioned on the forum.

Great job Amral, the family don’t have a bank account. The money has to be send via western union or moneygram. 
We spoke to a female her name is Natasha. 
Every little bit counts, you can send individually or to Django. 
Good Luck.

Good job guys.  Chandroutie must be a new resident of Airy Hall. This was always a village of black residents.  

Not according to the media. 


“It reportedly started in the wee hours of the morning, and within minutes, the wooden structure in which they’d lived for the past 23 years was burnt completely.”

The fire took place at Novar which is an Indian village nearby.  Airy Hall is surrounded by Huntley, Dundee, and Novar which are all Indian villages.
