Unsafe, low-income house lot disappoints single parent mom

“When I see the land and saw where it was, I felt like instantly a part of me died. I wanted to scream. I wanted to roll up on the floor, everything in one. I was so emotional but I still had to hold my tears and when I look around at where the Ministry of Housing want me live I just couldn’t…,” her voice broke as she spoke.

“The land was so low it was flooded with water. I have one neighbour and the other side of the land was just a foundation. When I look around, I feel like if I am in a jungle, surrounded by monsters. There was a lot of abandoned houses, Food for the Poor houses. You see, people used to live there but they just abandon the houses. And at the back of the land was a bamboo jungle, like all you see is bamboo plants and nothing else. I was scared just looking at it.”
