Man, 75, loses memory, seeks help to reunite with family in Guyana
Ulric Bobb also known as “Piah”
It’s been months since an elderly Guyanese man has been a patient of the Bellvue hospital in Manhattan, New York after losing his memory.
The man gave his name as Ulric McDonald, and Ulric Bobb called “Piah”, 75, of Belladrum Village, West Coast Berbice.
He is pleading for help to be reunited with relatives so that he can return to Guyana since he cannot remember where he lived in the United States.
He was in tears as he explained, “As soon as you say the name Piah they will locate me right away…I have a sister name Melrose. She is the one going crazy because she want to see me so much…
“She build a new house and get a bedroom waiting for me…I was thinking about taking two trains and go home because I want to get out of here.”
Guyanese activists from non-profit organizations United Bridge Builders Mission (UBBM) and Guyana Action Committee (GAC) are on the case and working to reunite the man with his family and help him to safely return home.
Operations Director of GAC, Bonita Montaque, assured that once his identity is verified and relatives located, the organization will pay the expenses associated with him returning to Guyana.
“We are here now and we will work night and day until we are able to locate your relatives. I know you would like to get out of here. He is in tears; he’s broken; he wants to come back home to Guyana; he wants to come back home to his family.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact 718-879-2662, 718-926-9445/914-439-4960.
