He added that he was committed to providing Sookdeo with $100,000 monthly for 12 months and would also construct a shop at her newly-built home so that she c become self-employed.
Meanwhile, Sookdeo revealed that she was currently unemployed and was suffering from several illnesses including Filaria, diabetes, and arthritis. She added that she was very happy that Jagmohan has gifted her a house for Christmas where she would be more comfortable.
“I am very happy… words cannot express how I feel; I am very thankful for my new home and then he said he will build and stock a shop for me which is more exciting… from there I know I will own my own business and will work for my own money… All thanks to Mister Jagmohan. May God continue to bless him,” Sookdeo said with tears in her eyes.
Additionally, during the handover, more than 30 women benefited from grocery hampers along with $10,000 from the businessman. The women hailed from several villages along the Essequibo Coast.
Jagmohan said that he was committed to providing more to fellow Essequibians in memory of his mother. He noted that homes were to be completed in 2023 for several elderly women.
