The Laventille woman who had a retaining wall fall on her house on May 18 said she had been assured she would be housed in temporary accommodations by the state for the next three months while a starter home was being built for her.

Debra Woods, 44, said Crystal Edwards, an official from the Disaster Management Unit had taken her somewhere where she would be able to access temporary accommodations in the San Juan area for three months.

“I should be going to sign there tomorrow and hopefully I could move in. She took me to Foundation for the Enhancement & Enrichment of Life (FEEL) and they barely had any donations, so all they could have given me was a bed frame, no mattress, I might get a pillow, probably some wares, a tabletop, but they really don’t have anything else really, no mattress, nothing. I don’t know what going on with the mattress.
