Salesperson still struggling to build his house destroyed in fire

A salesperson of Vitogo Lautoka is still struggling to build his house which was destroyed in a fire three months ago.

Saiman Sachin Raj told Fijivillage that he, his father and his son are staying with a relative consisting of ten members.

Raj says he wants to build his own home but he cannot do it alone and needs assistance.

He says he received $1,000 from the Social Welfare Department but being the sole bread winner, building a home on his own is difficult for him.

He says that according to the National Fire Authority and Police report, the fire started through electrical faults.

61-year-old Anil Anjani died in this incident.

Raj said earlier that they were sleeping when the fire started and after feeling the heat he woke up and alerted his parents.

He said they tried to escape through a window but his mother was trapped inside.

He said his father tried to grab her hand but she was lost in thick smoke inside her room.
