A Corentyne single mother of three is now contemplating her next move after a sudden fire destroyed her house at Union Village, Corentyne.
Runilda Nicholson, 30, a mother of three sons of Lot 48 Union Village explained that around 4 pm she started to smell smoke after which her neighbours alerted her that it was coming from her house.
“Them start holler smoke, smoke and I jump up cause I was in the chair in the house and then I see the fire in the backroom and when I watch in the kitchen was bare smoke and I run in the backroom and then I see the bed sponge was on fire and I run and grab the sponge and try to throw it through the house door but due to that it catch on the chairs them and the fire start explode more”, she related.
Nicholson said at that point she ran back into the house and grabbed her children and then ran outside where she eventually collapsed and had to seek medical attention.
“I only wake up back in the ambulance and then I hear my whole house burn down”, she lamented.
Nicholson who is a cleaner at the Fort Wellington School said that all of her belongings in her two-bedroom wooden house were completely destroyed.
“I stock up grocery and my fridge like two days before the fire because I say I got to work and won’t get time, I lose everything, everything I had in the house gone”, she said.
As of yesterday the woman was unclear what her next move would be, “I don’t know what to do or what I’m going to do. I’m a single mother just trying to battle with the help from nobody. I is a hard working person, I does give me all to my children them, I does work for my children, everything I work for gone.”
Nicholson can be contacted on telephone number 695-3875.
