KENNY "Harry" Koat, 55, is appealing for the public's assistance in rebuilding his Matura Street, Sookoo Trace, Claxton Bay home which collapsed after a battering by strong winds and heavy showers over the weekend while the country was under a Yellow Level adverse weather alert.

The humble two-bedroom wooden structure Koat called home sweet home for the past 30 years gave way and was reduced to a pile of rubble. He said that over the past three decades, the house weathered storms and winds with all he had to do was maybe replace a galvanise sheet or two.

But the thunder shower on Friday proved too much for the house which collapsed, exposing all of Koat's possessions to the elements. No one was in the house at the time.
