Help keeps rolling for 2013 Carifta chess champion Della Marie Walcott, who slipped into a coma after having a tumour removed from her brain in December.
Stepping up this week were the Office of the Prime Minister and Mau Pau Members Club making contributions of $25,000 and $10,000, respectively, towards financial assistance for medical expenses incurred at St Clair Medical Hospital.
