The child that was injured
A seven-year-old boy sustained injuries after his family’s home collapsed in Haslington Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara (ECD) on Friday.
The incident reportedly occurred around 11:35h, causing the child to suffer injuries to the back of his head and neck.
Melissa Faye Wilson, the child’s mother, shared the news on her Facebook page, explaining that they were renting the house at the time.
While details on how the house collapsed were not divulged, the woman was effusive with gratitude to God and for the quick response of rescuers, who helped to free the child. He was later taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital for treatment.
“The house fell flat to the ground and pinned my seven-year-old son underneath, but I thank God for his life. He is now receiving medical care at GPHC under the supervision of Dr Kissoon.”
The Wilson family is now seeking the public’s assistance following the incident.
