Dominica’s Story

Dominica, an elderly widow, came to the women’s Bible Study group, during 2015.
She was very poorly clothed and appeared extremely mal-nourished. It became evident very quickly that she had no income, was receiving next-to-nothing in the way of food from her relatives and was living in a tukul with a leaking roof. She slept on a dirt floor and was being bitten by termites, as they continued destroying the structure of her dilapidated home.
Her relatives abused her and treated her terribly. The decision was made to build a new “tukul” and “pit latrine / bathing facility” for her inside the security fence surrounding the Cornerstone property, to provide a safe and secure place for her to live the remaining years of her life. A folding camp stretcher bed was donated so that she could sleep off the floor, and clothing was also donated. Funds have been donated to cover her care, food and any medical needs she may have in the years ahead.
Dominica was very grateful and is thrilled with her new living conditions.
