Re: ASTON is a 15-year-old with a vicious temper
Yes, indeed all went well. Andrew was there too at about 9:40AM. He took pictures. She is very grateful. She suffers from lupus and borrowed $500 from a lady to buy medication yesterday. I gave her $500 out of my pocket to reimburse. The cheque of J$51,000 was handed over to her with the least fanfare.
I had a long chat on the phone last evening planning for today. She gave me a pair of sandals that she makes. The machine she wants will smooth out roughness and make product more marketable.
I told her about jamaicans.com and how us as a group read about her plight from an article by Andrew Smith and highlighted by Tuff Gong on a thread in Politrix. She understood that through the kindness of jamaicans.com contributors, she became a beneficiary. I told her that many are concerned and would help with children`s school fees. I told her many members of our site are visitors who make Negril a second home away from home. She said that her late baby father was from Green Island, Hanover. She was aware of visitors who she thought might be interested in her production, leather sandals as may be viewed in a picture posted by e-mail to 2 of our administrators who have my consent to post on the board since I too take up some bytes in it. She
also invited members who are interested to come view her sandals when next in Kingston.
BND1999, I am sure will be there next visit.
Others who are interested can always PM me and I will arrange a meeting with Diana.
She also gave me consent to share cell # with whosoever wished to speak with her.
Andrew said he would do a follow up story in the Gleaner so that all will be informed to the progress you all helped make.
btw. Andrew was promoted to his position of photo-journalist editor at the Gleaner. So hats off to Andrew Smith who Diana adores and who has by the might of his pen brought to light the plight of a lone Jamaican woman up against all odds to survive and to raise her children and those of her landlady who is unable to be with them.
12 children in all, 9 her own and 3 for the landlady.
Hats off to Tuff Gong whose persistent social posts have broken through and touched the warm hearts of jamaicans.com
Hats off to the administrators, SistaD and Xavier in particular who invested me to represent you at Diana`s benefit.
Last but not least, hats off and 3 cheers to the membership of jamaicans.com who as a collective body, rallied to the assistance of a sister to help her get back on some sort of level after being down in poverty for too long, not because of a depraved mind but because of unfortunate circumstances.
Stand tall jamaicans.com You have done Jamaica and the world proud, a service to all who wish it to be Jamaican.
Thanks too for the opportunity to be a part of you all.
Nuff said! Peace and Justice be with you all.
