Terry of Negril

(updated 10/2008)
A visit with Terry Miller in Nov 2005, Negril Jamaica. Terry is a young Jamaican who broke his neck playing soccer and is a paraplegic. He struggles to support himself and his son. He get's limited help from the good hearted people around him. When you visit Negril, look him up and stop by for a visit. Bring a few bags of groceries or supplies that he can sell from his "Store". That's how he survives. Often he needs sheets, and wash supplies to keep clean. Bedsore infections have almost killed him several times so call ahead and see what he needs most. From the Negril rotary head towards Sav La Mar about 1/4 km? turn Right just before the Texaco gas. Go about 1km then left and it's the first house on left - should put you in the neighborhood - I just set the map indicator below to where I believe it is. Ask anyone in that neighborhood where he lives from there - In Jamaica most all neighbors are like family. (Something we could learn from).
A sad note - the little boy "Mark" seen sucking his thumb in the video who is Debbie's son was electrocuted from some wires behind a refrigerator sometime after this video was made. Poor sweet Debbie, she has such a good heart to be caretaker for Terry - we all must share her grief.

RastaRich.... we'll be in Negril for a few weeks in June. Where is "Fashion Vibz" (relative to Llantrissant)?

[RastaRichNegril]

Respect Adman,

Not sure where Llantrissant is. From the negril rotary Terry's is about 6 blocks towards Sav La Mar and 3 blocks West (in from the main rd) as I recall. On Google Earth I think I found it at 18°16'26.38"N 78°20'37.66"W

If that's not it its close and all the neighbors know him - just ask

Let me know how he is. Thx
