Buckie Got It…….As the Sister Sensia Mission with Barry & Buckie Got It continues the effort to aid the family of the home fire, which saw kindhearted persons giving assistance to the family. Another such person is Mrs Kimmoy Brathwaite of Tabernacle who reached out to me with her offer to help. I learnt that she has been doing community work since 2010 in her area. In continuing her good deeds, she informed me of her plan to take the children shopping to replace some items lost in the fire at their home in St. Pauls.

I wish to report that Mrs Kimmoy Brathwaite lived up to her words. She took the children on shopping spree at Karibhana in Basseterre and purchase items including books and clothing.

On behalf of the family we offer sincere thanks to her and all persons on both islands, who have contributed to this family. Your willingness to step up with your donations is greatly appreciated and applauded.
