A fire of unknown origin has left a Corentyne family of four homeless after it engulfed their residence.
The incident occurred at about 8 a.m. at Lot 8, Section ‘B’ Bengal Farm.
Jonell Batson, the 43-year-old homeowner, revealed that she was on the public road with two of her children, ensuring their transportation to school, when a neighbor alerted her to the fire.
Batson expressed the devastating loss, stating that upon arriving at the scene, the house was already engulfed in flames.
Despite efforts, she couldn’t salvage any belongings, and everything, including her salary, was consumed by the fire.
The Guyana Fire Service was contacted, but unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the building had already been completely destroyed.
Facing the aftermath of the fire, Batson is now seeking assistance to rebuild her home.
She expressed her willingness to accept any help to provide shelter for herself and her children.
Those willing to assist the family can contact Jonell Batson at 664-1303.
