On last night's news, single mother of four Sherla Adolphus made a heartfelt plea for help. She's the mother of Dean Dawson's children. He was killed in a high profile traffic accident at the end of March. Now, Adolphus - whose sons are aged 7, 6, 5, and 1 - says she can't care for her children and she can't afford to work and hire a baby sitter. It's a sad story at Christmas and it caught the ear of rural Commander Edward Broaster. He made the connection with the Mahitani family, the owners of Delta Store. They want to help 15 families and Broaster thought Dawson surely fit the bill. We found them at Delta Store today:...
Murli Mahitani - Delta Store
"The thing is we are more believers in humanity and we feel to help people who can't help themselves, they become destitute you see, because we depend on their business so much and it's time to give them. Besides, my mother had left a certain amount of money after she expired, which we are gradually spacing it and giving it to the people. We intend to help about 10-15 different families."
ACP. Edward Broaster - OC., Rural Eastern Division
"They are getting a hundred and $150 dollars from Mr. Mahitani and then we will match that. The fact that we had Ms. Dawson on the television last night with her children. I'm sure it broke the nation's heart. She was contacted and it was given a few dollars from Mr. Mahitani to so some Christmas shopping."
Sherla Adolphus - Mother of Dawson's Children
"First of all I want to thank the heavenly father because I prayed whole night that something worked out for me and my children so that we can a brighter Christmas. I got a hundred and 50 dollars from here and 5 yard of marley for my birthday."

"So what are you going to do with the $150? I understand you will be heading over to go shopping."
Sherla Adolphus - Mother of Dawson's Children
"Yes, I'm going shopping at K-Park. I don't know what to say I'm so happy."

"Ms. Baldarez she had seen Ms. Lorna Wade story and she asked me to make her feel the same way like Ms. Lorna Wade as her son was the one who apparently hang himself in the Ladyville cell block."
