Williams &amp; Co. Ltd in loading, transporting, and off-loading cement blocks for many years told Dominica News Online (DNO) that because he has been out of work for over a month, he is unable to support himself financially.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Cuffy he, along with two other men, was assisting a truck driver in transporting over 1000 blocks from P.H.Williams &amp; Co Ltd to Salybia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He explained that they were sitting at the back of the truck on top of the blocks, about 14 feet high at the time of the accident. However, when the truck arrived in the Springfield area, he said the right front wheel axle broke and the truck flipped over. Cuffy along with the two other men and the truck driver sustained injuries following that incident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I fell from that height I broke my right leg. Right now I cannot work, I cannot help myself,\u201d he sobbed. \u201cSome of my family are helping me by providing me with a meal, they help clean my home and yard, but financially I cannot help myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s really frustrating not being able to help myself. I have bills to pay\u2026my internet was disconnected and I had my television I bought at Courts on hire purchase returned. It\u2019s really rough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuffy added, \u201cI am calling for additional assistance whether it may be in cash or kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Cuffy told DNO that about two weeks ago the truck driver gave him $100, explaining that he would not be covered by the driver&#8217;s insurance because he wasn\u2019t sitting at the front of the truck.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t aware of that,\u201d he noted. \u201cMy life was at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that the driver promised to assist in any way that he can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuffy remarked that he will exercise caution when he is fully healed and back on the hustle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who is willing to assist Cuffy can contact him via telephone number 767-614-2169.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Fond Cole resident is crying out for help after an accident in Springfield on August 4, left him with serious leg injuries, rendering him unable to work.
