A heartwarming story unfolded in Corentyne, as Anita Lloyd, a single mother of six, received the gift of a new home for Christmas.
President Dr. Irfaan Ali, in collaboration with the Men on Mission initiative and the local business community, made this Christmas wish a reality for the Lloyd family.
Anita Lloyd, 35 years old, had been living in a small makeshift house on a GUYSUCO reserve in Ankerville Port Mourant for eight years, facing uncertainty and challenges in providing for her children.
Her one wish for Christmas was to have a home that would offer security and comfort to her and her kids.
The Men on Mission initiative, led by President Irfaan Ali, intervened to fulfill Anita’s wish.
The President highlighted the importance of a home as an empowering act and emphasized the commitment required from parents to ensure stability and progress for the family.
Anita Lloyd shared her struggles, noting her efforts to work and provide for her children, especially during challenging weather conditions that affected their living conditions.
The Men on Mission initiative contacted her, promising to make her dream of having her own home come true.
The newly constructed house was furnished by Imran and Daughters Store from Rose Hall Town, contributing to the family’s comfort and well-being.
Additionally, Ashiek and Son Motor Supplies gifted the family a laptop and printer to support the children’s educational activities.
President Irfaan Ali expressed his pleasure at being part of this significant moment and urged the community and regional government to support the family, ensuring that the children have access to education.
This heartwarming initiative not only provided a tangible gift of a new home but also showcased the power of community, collaboration, and compassion during the festive season.
