While Do­ri­an Forbes and oth­er rel­a­tives saved his bedrid­den moth­er and step­fa­ther from a house fire in Pe­nal, the blaze de­stroyed two homes and all their be­long­ings, leav­ing 12 peo­ple home­less.

Forbes, 39, who lived in one of the hous­es with his four chil­dren, is now plead­ing for as­sis­tance, par­tic­u­lar­ly from his Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar. Sev­en chil­dren, be­tween the ages of nine and 18, and five adults lived in the two hous­es.
