Courts Guyana on Thursday presented Miller with a fridge and stove. The furniture giant had also collaborated with Habitat for Humanity, Qualfon, Scotiabank, Demerara Bank and Edward B. Beharry to present the victim with a house at La Parfaite Harmonie, in March.
Habitat for Humanity had responded to plights by the wounded woman and had solicited partnered sponsorship by the other mentioned sponsors.
Miller-Patterson survived a terrible knife attack by her now dead husband in March 2014. She came close to death’s door but she pulled through her horrific ordeal. She was stabbed 27 times about the body, and her husband after believing she was dead, committed suicide. Miller-Patterson had also lost her home to fire.
The very optimistic woman is very grateful for the continuous support by the many sponsors, as they have brought much hope for a better life to her.
She was overwhelmed with emotions as she extended her gratitude. With the renewed hope, Miller-Patterson now desires to have a happy life with her daughter.
Despite having some flashbacks and even having to look over her shoulders sometimes, she said that she is comfortable in her new home, and now that the home is being furnished she is even more comfortable.
