Hi All

My name is Sheera Rampersad.

Today (Oct29/19) I read an article in the Guardian Newspaper about Baldeo Soogrim and his daugh­ter Vis­han­na that hit really close to home.

According to the Newspaper, on Divali, a fire broke out at their home destroying everything they owned, including their home, jew­ellery and the equip­ment which Baldeo Soogrim used to make a living. Mr. Soogrim is a san­i­ta­tion work­er with the Pe­nal/Debe Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion and his daugh­ter, Vis­han­na ,re­cent­ly start­ed work­ing as an On the Job trainee with the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion. Dam­ages are estimated to be over $750,000. Anything that can be contributed would be a big help to this family in need.
