Members of St Vincent De Paul Society (SVP) came across Edris Fraser and her mentally ill daughter while delivering a hamper in the Kitty area and made several efforts to get Ministry of Human Services and Social Security to intervene, so far in vain.
Father Edwin Thadheu SJ of the St Pius X RC Church in a letter published in yesterday’s edition of the Stabroek News said the elderly woman and her daughter were indeed living in inhumane conditions as highlighted by this newspaper.
His letter came shortly after two of the woman’s children insisted that she needed no help and that family abroad were catering for her needs. Fraser, 71, remains a patient of the Georgetown Public Hospital where
