Happy ending for Wentworth sisters
Wentworth sisters, Jolene Hammand and Tamika Dedericks were recently afforded the opportunity to have their own humble home.
HAVING had a tough upbringing, which often found them homeless, Wentworth sisters, Jolene Hammand and Tamika Dedericks have been afforded the opportunity to have their own humble home. Thanks to a generous donation of a Wendy house from Clarko Piping Contractors, the sisters have a roof over the heads.
This was made possible after community activists Roselyn and Celeste King reached out to the community on a Facebook post describing the dire situation. “The sisters struggled to make ends meet and were abused at home. They were also often left outside of the house, forcing them to sleep outside or find another place to stay. Tamika even resorted to staying at a shelter because of the situation. The mother is also late which has added to their challenges,” said Celeste who together with Roselyn spread the word on this emotional story.
It wasn’t long before Jonathan Clark gladly agreed to assist the family in need by donating a Wendy house.
An overjoyed Jolene said: “All thanks to God for this blessing and making this possible. It’s really a privilege to have the community rally to help us. We are truly grateful. I’m so happy that myself, my children, my sister and her daughter now have our own place to stay. A big thank you to Celeste and aunty Roselyn King and Clark,” said the mother of two.
