The welfare?Department is relocating the Gollop family to another rental house.
This was confirmed by parliamentary representative for St Michael West, Michael Carrington, who visited the family last week following the publication of their plight by the DAILY?NATION.
A concerned landlord, A. Mangera, who rented her Bank Hall, St Michael home to the family in rooms, had contacted this newspaper, after the Welfare Department informed her that it was no longer paying rent for two of the boys, who until six months ago were wards at the Sterling Children’s Home.
Their mother, Margaret Gollop, was living in the house with five of her children, four of whom were raised in children’s homes from the time they were babies. Their father, who rents a room elsewhere, has also been providing for the family out of his small wages. (MB)
