Published

Father’s Day turned into a nightmare for Tony Raddigan Warren and his family when a fire razed their home in Liberta, leaving them devastated.

The blaze erupted on Father’s Day and quickly engulfed their residence, consuming everything in its path.

Amidst the loss of their belongings and the physical structure of their home, the Warren family also faces the emotional toll of the tragedy.

The outpouring of support from neighbors, friends, and the wider community has provided a glimmer of hope during this difficult time.

Efforts are underway to assist the family in securing temporary accommodations, clothing, and other essential items, demonstrating the community’s unity and compassion in the face of adversity.

The MP for the area E.P Chet Greene said he has been in contact with the family and have asked the station manager at WTP to work with them to undertake a major fund raiser on Saturday in the form of a mediathon where callers can call into the radio station or other pre-authorized numbers to make pledges to the expeditious building back of a house for Tony and his family.

“Already efforts are underway to secure professional services in the areas of architecture, plumbing, electrical, carpentry and masonry. The community is moved by this loss and is already mobilizing to support this family. I encourage us to all rally to this call for urgent action and support,” Greene said
