FATHER of three and sole breadwinner Eric Edmond is grappling with deep financial uncertainty after being suddenly laid off from the Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (Cepep).

The abrupt decision left him and thousands of others without notice or recourse, adding to the grief of losing his mother last December.

Edmond, who has worked with Cepep since 2018 as an operator, would leave his home in St Albans at dawn to travel to Wallerfield, earning a fortnightly salary of $1,378.50.
