Eight-six-year-old Lucius Nathaniel Binns was a picture of happiness after receiving a mattress, courtesy of the St Catherine North police.
Binns, who lives in a dilapidated, board-and-zinc structure, was thankful, but still needs more help.
I was born in St Andrew; can’t remember anything else, but dis is where mi is now,” said Binns.
He does get some help from residents like Rochelle Bryan, who has known Binns since 1990.
“I try to help him by carrying water and food, but he needs help, so we are thankful for the police assistance so far,” Bryan said.
