9 persons, one room - Mom, kids seek help to leave shack

Three of Joan Mundle's eight children stand at the front and back of their one-room house in Shooters Hill, St Andrew. - Jonique Gaynor

Sharing a room with one person can get uncomfortable at times. It is hard to imagine therefore, how Joan Mundle and her eight children can live together in one bedroom.
Mundle and her children, whose ages range from one to 20, live in a one room board structure in Tobey Gully, Shooters Hill, St Andrew, and to make matters worse, they have no piped water or electricity. Mundle has lived in the community for the last four years.
In order to accommodate all her children and to make things as comfortable as she can, Mundle squeezed two beds into the room, which also acts as the living room, kitchen and dining room. She told THE STAR, "Wi jus haffi share di one room. Is two bed wi have, so wi jus share and wi haffi cook outside cause di hurricane damage di stove whe mi did have."
The family uses an outside bathroom, which Mundle pieced together after the original structure was damaged by Hurricane Dean. "Mi did have a pit toilet but di water wash it dung di hill," she said, revealing that she some-times uses her neighbour's bathroom.
Her only source of income is from a domestic job she does every two weeks and needless to say, the money she earns, is hardly enough to take care of her children and send them to school. She also revealed that her oldest daughter, who at one point was employed, no longer has a job.
She said only one of the children's fathers was of any assistance. She said, "Only one a dem fada stand still and mi wi get a likkle change like a $3000, so mi jus sacrifice miself and share it." Her children are sometimes forced to miss school because she does not have the money to send them. "Mi put dem on the PATH programme, di six a dem, but dem nuh go school regular cause sometimes mi hardly can find it, so dem jus stay home."
Mundle's house is atop a very steep hill, so the family has to walk a long distance down the hill to the community stand pipe. The board structure does not seem to be the strongest and the family lost several items of clothing as well as Mundle's chickens, during Hurricane Dean.
Mundle is seeking the help of the public to make things better for herself and her family and told THE STAR, " It hard man. It hard, hard. Anyting wha a come to mi, mi woulda accept it. Mi des-perately woulda like di help."
Anyone wishing to help this family, may contact Mundle at 454-3009.

And these are always the same people who live in these conditions that have so many children. Why must a woman have so many children and not living in a good condition neither have any substantial daily income.
