A FAMILY of six is appealing for assistance from the public to get back on their feet after a fire destroyed their two-storey home and all their belongings on Sunday.
The blaze consumed the wooden-and-concrete structure on Lucky Street Extension, in La Romaine, within minutes, despite frantic efforts by neighbours to help save the home.
“We lost everything. We lost our home and we have lived here for years,” said Aaliyah Small, a resident who occupied the ground floor with her mother, Alisha Mohammed. “We are pleading for assistance. There were three kids living here. They have no clothes, no books for school, nothing. If there are any food items or any way anyone can assist us, please do. We are crying for help.”
