Minister Webster spreads Christmas cheer to the elderly
Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Jennifer Webster, on Friday presented holiday cheer in the form of hampers, to elders at the Uncle Eddie’s Home in Tucville, Archer’s Home on D’Urban Street and the Gentle Women’s Home on Brickdam respectively.
She explained that even though the homes are privately owned, the government would still give annual subventions.
The Ministry recently funded a renovation of the laundry room at the Uncle Eddie’s home. A washing machine will also be given to the home.
President of the Management Committee for Uncle Eddie’s Home, Walter Lewis, accepts the hamper on behalf of the residents of that home.
In addition, the Ministry also facilitated the installation of grills at Archer’s home in an effort to prevent yet another robbery, and to ensure the safety of the residents there.
Just about two months ago the residents’ money and pension books were stolen by gunmen who invaded the premises at around midday. Gold jewelry belonging to the administrator of the home was also stolen.
