  • In this video, a Guyanese-Venezuelan woman who is living in impoverished conditions shares her struggles living at the Parika Sea Dam, East Bank Essequibo. She remigrated to Guyana in 2019 with her Venezuelan husband, daughter and son. They are among the 25,000 people who have fled Venezuela to escape the social and economic crisis. Her husband, a mason, and her son are working and she would do domestic work sometimes. Her daughter does not work because she cannot speak English that well and because she has a one-year-old son. Her husband has a disability, where one leg is longer than other, after suffering an accident. But he does not let it bother him and adjusts the bottom of the for the shorter leg so he can walk straight. The family was paying a rent of $20,000 for small one-bedroom house but moved because they would not afford it. They got some free boards from the sawmill and built their own house on the Parika Sea Dam. But that is not the condition they want to live in and badly wants to move.

    How do we go about donating to these wonderful people? I just love her positive outlook on things. Clothes, and necessities how do we ship out to her family or all families that live there? She's a fellow Guyanese, the government had better take some of that billion-dollar oil money we got and help all those alongside the borders. And for her husband? He could be a shoemaker.

    She reminds me of my dad who used to say, I cried because I had no shoes until I met the man who had no feet. Very positive vibes from this family who sees the glass half full instead of half empty.
