FAMILY RECEIVES NEW HOME AFTER FIERY SETBACK IN MARCH

Zandra Martin has received the keys to her newly rebuilt home in Johnson’s Village, after losing everything in a fire on March 3 2025. Martin expresses her gratitude to everyone involved in making this possible.

She tells ABS News she had only requested from St John’s Rural East MP and Housing Minister, Hon. Maria Browne, the use of a backhoe to clear the rubble. MP Browne and Social Transformation Minister Hon. Rawdon Turner, however, collaborated with the HAPI initiative to completely rebuild and furnish the family’s home.

Hot Deals Outlet donated $20,000 worth of furniture, appliances and household supplies to Zandra and her family. Donations were also made by King’s Casino.
