A single mother of Pattensen, Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara, is now counting her losses after a fire of unknown origin ravaged her home on Tuesday afternoon.
In an interview with Stabroek News, Akellia Daly, a mother of three, said that at the time of the fire she was at work while her children were at their grandmother’s. Daly stated that she received a call from her son’s teacher at about 16:15 hours, “I was at work and my son teacher call me, she live across the road and she end up call me and tell me she see the big fire. When I come just like how it flat here that’s how I meet it. Nothing was saved.”
