STILL IN THE COLD: Kareen McCollin showing her possessions yesterday.
|
KAREEN McCOLLIN was unsure where she would have spent last night after "bunking" with an aunt on Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old unemployed mother of three, of Monroe Road, Haggatt Hall, St Michael, was evicted by her mother and forced to sleep exposed to the elements following a dispute on Monday evening.
When a DAILY NATION team visited the young woman yesterday, her possessions were still packed outside under a blue tarpaulin and she said she was unsure where she would sleep last night.
She said she visited consultant on poverty alleviation, Hamilton Lashley, who promised to look into the situation.
McCollin added she was also expecting a visit from Minister of Social Transformation Trevor Prescod. (JW)
