CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Tank-Weld has brought Christmas cheer to 2,000 Jamaicans across several communities, with grocery and toiletries.
“It came at the time when I needed it most,” said Nora Thompson, a resident of Rio Bueno in Trelawny.
Thompson has one son who usually sends money from abroad to support her, but she has not heard from him for the past four and a half years.
“It’s rough on me. I usually do a little sewing, mostly uniforms, but since COVID that has dried up,” she told
The Gleaner.
The 68-year-old shared that she is grateful for the charity extended to her by Tank-Weld and some of her loyal customers whom she has been sewing for since they were attending basic school.
