For the first time in almost three months, Monica Morgan may be able to get a good night's sleep.

After months of uncertainty, her 13-year-old daughter, who has been dead since last November, was finally laid to rest yesterday.

Last Wednesday, THE STAR published Morgan's story and appealed for help on her behalf. She explained that her daughter died from rheumatic fever but because of a lack of funds, she could not be buried.

Thanks to many caring Jamaicans, however, and especially to one gentleman from Montego Bay who donated themoney needed, Shania Davis was buried. Davis' family and friends, as well as onlookers from the community where the church is located, gathered at the Powerline Ministry Church of God in Spanish Town, St Catherine to say their final goodbyes.

When THE STAR visited, mourners were paying tributes in songs, while Shania's mother, who expressed gratitude to THE STAR and those who extended a helping hand, greeted others arriving.

The good Samaritan in this case is not seeking glory. He said he only wanted to be referred to as 'a concerned musician'. He donated $66,000 needed to bury Shania. He told THE STAR, "There was no point in me giving $5,000 and someone else giving $1,000, It would probably stretch out until Christmas and is only $66,000. We have to help one another in times of need."

He noted he was happy to help saying: "I'm glad I was able to help so she can bury her daughter and go to bed at night."

Shania was interred at the Commodore Cemetery in Linstead.
