Hope in motion

A paraplegic senior displaced by hurricane damage is regaining a measure of independence, thanks to swift community action and quiet generosity in Green Island, Westmoreland. The woman, Claudette Quest from Glenbrook, Westmoreland, has been paralysed from the waist down for several years and was forced to relocate to a neighbour’s home after her house was severely damaged during the recent hurricane. Her situation came to light through a simple message sent to a community WhatsApp group, and within hours, strangers mobilised to help.
