Latoya Christian, a mother whose home was destroyed in a tragic fire earlier this year, continues to face significant challenges in securing stable housing for her family. Despite receiving essential donations such as food and clothing, Christian emphasizes that her most pressing need is a permanent place to live. She shared her plight with Antigua Newsroom, expressing her frustration and gratitude simultaneously. ‘I have been getting food, clothes, etc., but I’m in need of somewhere to stay. My daughter just had a baby, and I have others all over. It’s frustrating, to be honest. I’m not saying it’s anyone’s fault, but all I need is some assistance for somewhere to live,’ she said. The fire, which occurred in July, began in the kitchen when a gas hose caught fire. Despite her efforts to extinguish the flames, the blaze quickly engulfed the house, forcing Christian and her children to flee over a fence to safety. Among those affected were her six-year-old daughter, four-year-old son, and 21-year-old pregnant daughter, who has since given birth. The fire destroyed all their belongings, including clothing, documents, and baby supplies. Christian, who has been going to work without meals, relies on the school meal program to feed her five-year-old. She is deeply thankful for the support she has received so far but is urgently appealing for assistance to secure housing for her family. Those wishing to help can contact her at (268) 783-9068.
