Western Bureau: When Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica on October 28 last year, 44-year-old Theresa Diana Wedderburn of Pell River, Hanover, and her husband and five children, were among the scores of impacted families that were left homeless. After weeks without a proper place to lay their heads at night, the family now has a proper shelter, thanks to the efforts of the member of parliament (MP) for Hanover Western, Heatha Miller-Bennett, who has launched an initiative to assist affected families in her constituency.
