A Charity widow who lost her pension book will soon have a replacement, facilitated by the smooth application process at the Region 2 outreach.

Salome D’Aguilar, the daughter of the widow, visited the government outreach in Region 2 with the intention of helping her mother to retrieve her lost pension book since it is her source of income. Representatives of the Ministry of Social Protection facilitated her request.

In an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI), D’ Aguilar said that her mother was robbed of her purse one day, while selling at the Charity market. The purse included her pension book among other important documents. According to D’ Aguilar, this was painstaking for mother since she was dependent on the document for financial assistance.

She explained that it was difficult for her mother to recover the book at the ministry’s location in the region as she resides in Pomeroon.

The government outreach in the region was convenient for her to assist her mother with this dilemma.

Following the outreach, D’Aguilar was able to benefit from the much-needed service and will now be able to receive her pension book in a few weeks.

D’Aguilar was among the many persons who visited the outreach and left with satisfaction.
