Lynn-Rae has a young family with three children aged 3, 6 and 10. Unfortunately, she had cancelled the home insurance during the Covid-19 pandemic due to budget constraints.
After hearing this extraordinary story, many people were moved and wanted to help Lynn-Rae and her family. In came Jessica Singh, who is the chairperson of the East Coast Knights.
