A fire on Tuesday evening razed a wooden house in Onderneeming Sand Pit, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), displacing eight residents, including four school-aged children. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries.
The Difficult Circumstances Unit of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security promptly conducted a site visit and assessment to determine the immediate needs of the affected family.
Romona Baychu, the mother of the household, is employed as a cook in the interior. Among the displaced is Kevin Boyan, who is confined to a wheelchair and is currently receiving assistance from the Human Services Ministry.
With their home completely destroyed, the family is now seeking temporary shelter. The four children are staying at a friend’s residence while the family navigates this challenging situation.
Investigations into the cause of the fire are currently ongoing. The community and local authorities are working to provide support and resources for the affected family during this difficult time.
