Someone do something

The Editor, Sir:

I EMAIL you as a concerned Jamaican living in the United States. My name is Goldie Fisher from Comfort Hall, Manchester. I am concerned about water blocking the road coming from Mile Gully, Manchester, leading to Comfort Hall and the adjoining districts: Race Course and Evergreen, Balaclava St. Elizabeth, Oxford Cane Wood and many other small districts. Flood waters have claimed the life of a mentally challenged woman who drowned as she made her way back home in Cane Wood after visiting the Mile Gully community clinic to get treatment.

Why can't someone do something about this matter before the water claims more innocent lives. I know it is a struggle living in this world being poor, but do the innocent have to suffer this way? The road through Race Course is too bad for even a donkey to walk on much less vehicles to drive on. Children going to and from school have it hard to find money to buy a proper lunch much less to find the extra money to pay for taxi fares.

Someone please help, it's hard for those people please help them. Poor people should not have to suffer like this.

I am, etc.,

GOLDIE FISHER
