“I must say that I am thankful for life, I feel lost and empty but still thankful for life, like I said I lost everything, right now I’m at a friend and don’t even know my next move,” she told iNews (www.inewsguyana.com).
The fire has left the woman, her two children, their father and another adult that resided in the house homeless.
