For the past five years, Trudy-Ann Lewis has been without a stable home for her and her three children.

The 32-year-old said she was forced out of her babyfather’s home, and has been moving from place to place since.

“Mi haffi a move all round at Old Harbour, so ‘til mi end up a mi grandmother now. It’s me, mi son, mi daughter and mi grandmother pan one bed,” she told THE STAR.

She said she managed to get a job as a janitor at a primary school in Old Harbour, but lost that job after she became ill last year. Now she has to find other means to provide for her children. “I’m not woking. Mi haffi walk and a beg. Mi nuh want dem (her children) come and walk in my footsteps. Mi want dem to come and work, work dem own money dat nobody nuh haffi tek no step a dem,” she said. “Sometime mi hardly have anything to cook, mi haffi a walk and beg something to cook.”

She said her children display great academic potential, but are missing too many days from school to fully realise it.

“Sometime all one week, two week, dem nuh go school, and dem, teacher said dem have potential but dem just need fi come school more,” she said.

Lewis also said that she doesn’t know where her childrens’ father is to ask him for any assistance.

“Mi need wah likkle work so mi can get a likkle house fi mi and mi children dem. Mi grandmother seh mi can build a likkle house pan di land,” she said.
