Storm exposes poverty in St. Vincent

[@Reality_TV]

She paid $5 for the mattress! WOW! $500 would make a WORLD of difference to this woman! I'm upset! Kenton Chance, where can we donate to this woman? This interview is making me upset! You keep asking her these intrusive questions to make her feel bad about her circumstances, but what are you doing to help her? Calling her circumstances sad to her face is harsh when you aren't stepping in to help! She is trying to work hard for herself, so give us her information so we can make a difference in her life!

[@susieroberts8457]

How can we donate

[@madananoel5869]

But who's so wicked to take $5 from this woman for a mattress? Unless they're on drugs and desperate for money to feed their habits! I would of give it to her for free! 😱

I am watching a reporter interviewing a lady and a son in Sandy Bay. Mr Ralph Gonsalves,please these people should not be living in such deplorable and sad condition. Why? for God's sake,they are sleeping on a sheet of plywood, the flooring Is all dirt,that lady and her son need immediate help.i cannot believe that in 2021in St.Vincent and the Grenadines,people are allowed to suffer for dwelling as well as food. Totally disgusting,politics,Ralph you should be ashamed of yourself. They're human, they're natives to that country. My stomach hurts looking at news report. Disgusting,how on earth can you sleep at night not giving a darn about these poor poor people. Surely the Government of st.vincentand the Grenadines,should have already taken steps to help these people.not just because of the damages done by the hurricane and the volcanic eruption but they should go around to he Island and assess the living situation of these people. When it's election time,they go around with their mouths full of promises, the poor people believe them because they make it sound so truthful. Listen up people, learn watch,listen and learn again. Without your votes they won't be in office,you put them there.

I have been too sandy bay and fancy in 1975 when I first went to SVG, I married a Vincentian. She came from a modest background living in a wooden house in Richmond hill close to Kingstown before moving to the UK where I met her in 1973.
