Burnt Teen Flown to US for Emergency Treatment
posted (April 6, 2009)

On Friday’s newscast Dennis Tillett, a resident of Elston Kerr Street told us that he believes that the fire that left his thirteen year old cousin Robert Anthony Lord with second degree burns and on life support machine was deliberately set by persons who he believes have been threatening the home owner Kimberly Trapp. In fact in that interview Dennis Tillett told 7News that he saw three young women running away from the Trapp’s residence just before the fire started and even told us that the night before he heard the same three young women make threats to suggest that something would happen to the residence.

Today his mother anis lord told 7News that her son’s condition further deteriorated over the weekend and with the help of Yvette Burks of BERT ambulance on Sunday he was sent by Med-Evac to the United States. Today Anis Lord is not only appealing to the public for their continued prayers and financial donation but also to the police because she says following another incident that occurred over the weekend, she now firmly believes the fire was set by someone who is out to get the neighbour and the home owner Kimberly Trapp whose car she says was set on fire on Saturday the day before her son was rushed to the U.S.

Anis Lord, Mother
“My husband went with him and all I am asking for is assistance and help because the cost of the trip is twenty four thousand U.S. dollars. I really need help so I hope I could get the support from everybody. Through Miss Yvette Burks we got the help to send him over but it is through Burnt Victims Mercy Fund and so we need to raise the money to put it back. I have an account number at Belize Bank 695-1152111.”

If you would like to assist anis lord you can make your financial donations at the Belize Bank where an account has been established. That number is 695 1152 – 111.
