Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis – This afternoon (Wednesday, May 8, 2024), Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew paid a heartfelt visit to the RLB International Airport to extend his greetings and support to Kevon Woode and his parents, who left for Trinidad and Tobago for advanced medical care.

Fifteen-year-old Kevon Woode was tragically involved in an accident at Pinneys Beach, Nevis, during a family beach picnic on Sunday, May 5, 2024. He was quickly transported by ambulance to Alexander Hospital, Nevis for emergency medical attention. Subsequent CT scans and X-rays revealed water in Kevon’s lungs and dislocated bones in his neck, resulting in paralysis from the neck down and requiring breathing assistance.

Recognizing the severity of Kevon’s condition and the need for specialized treatment abroad, Mr Devon Woode, affectionately known as DJ Woody, took to social media to seek financial assistance to support his son’s medical journey.

In response to Mr Woode’s plea and deeply moved by the family’s plight, Prime Minister Drew reached out to offer support through the Children’s Medical Fund. Taking to his social media platform, Prime Minister Drew confirmed: “He is another child who has benefited from the Children’s Medical Fund, which provides care to children in need of life-saving medical attention abroad. Let us continue to pray for his recovery and for his family.”
