Dorey McPherson

Dorey McPherson is a veteran vendor at the Morant Bay Market in St. Thomas, Jamaica, who has experienced a traumatic accident due to a deteriorating manhole cover next to her stall. After selling goods for over 30 years without incident, she fell into a drain last December, suffering injuries and ongoing pain. Her experience highlights the broader issues of public safety and the neglect of infrastructure in Jamaica, as she continues to seek accountability and repairs from local authorities for the hazardous conditions that led to her injury.
