More organisations have come on-board to assist the children of Martha's House who lost their belongings in a fire last Monday.
Martha's House, located on North Street, Kingston, was home to 30 children until it was destroyed by the blaze.
Wynlee Distributors Limited yesterday answered the need for food and clothing.
Winsome Halliman, CEO of WYNLEE, said that, being part of the community, the members of the organisation did not hesitate to assist.
"Though no lives were lost, the children lost everything, so we see it as a good gesture as a corporate responsibility to come on, board and make this special donation," Halliman said.
She further encouraged other persons to assist as the situation was painful.
Also yesterday, Telecommuni-cations company LIME and its parent company Cable & Wireless International (CWI), donated $2 million to rebuilding Martha's House.
