The family of 17-year-old Wes Antonio Romain, of Batacca, is seeking financial assistance to help have him airlifted overseas for medical attention.
Romain was critically injured in a traffic collision on Sunday 8th March in Castle Bruce when the pickup truck in which he and six other people were travelling, lost control and collided with a utility pole.
Another 17-year-old, Chayante Tyson, died as a result of injuries sustained in that accident and according to the police, two of the other occupants sustained serious injuries and were admitted to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital.
Romain was one of the two and, according to his family, has been in critical condition at the hospital. They say arrangements are being made to have him airlifted overseas as soon as possible to seek further medical attention. A family friend told Dominica News Online (DNO) that he may be flown out today.
Romain’s family is soliciting donations from members of the public, the private sector and other stakeholders. They say that all contributions will be significant and will increase chances for the youth’s successful treatment.
Persons willing to contribute can do so via First Caribbean Bank Account number: 106987101.
can you do a gofundme? its much easier.
I sorry to hear that wee, but speed and recklessness driving was the key factors to this accident. So I say go after the insurance company wee.
Just keeping it real wee…
Dominicans be wise.. why we can’t take care of our people in time of need? I am not talking financially. Why the F we have a hospital that is not capable? F skerrit and all those who supported him.
Please help this family because we never know who is next.
Weak Gov
Hi,
It will be easier for most of us (Outside Dominica) to donate if you set up a GoFund Me Page. I will look forward to the page to make my donation.
Best of luck.
Another person appealing for assistance from the public. And herein lies my problem with Dominicans when they go to the polls to vote. During election “season”, all they think about is sewo and a measly $1000 here or there. The fact that they cannot take care of their business in times of difficulty never enters their mind, until they get themselves in trouble and then having to appeal to the public for assistance.
I have said before that Domincans are very foolish, shortsighted and selfish. Once you dangle a few dollars in their faces, you can buy them very cheaply. Skerrit knows that and that is why he will never lose another election.
