Nigel Townsend is fearful that his life could be cut short while sleeping at his Maxfield Avenue dwelling.
The 59-year-old man has been living in the tough, impoverished community at his Fitzgerald Avenue address for longer than he can remember, having moved to the area from Two Miles in Kingston with his mother (now deceased) and sister.
Since 1999, Townsend has been on his own, and over time, his one-bedroom dwelling has deteriorated significantly.
“A hustle mi affi hustle more time, carry water, and dem thing deh.
Mi need some help cause this can cave in any time,” Townsend stressed.
