Help for Families in Dominica
Donation protected
On September 18, 2017, the tiny island nation of Dominica was devastated by Hurricane Maria
The citizens of the island country of Dominica are suffering an unprecedented situation following the direct hit by Hurricane Maria. This Category 5 storm and the associated winds and flooding have left many homeless.
Our hearts ache for everyone but our resources allow us to impact the conditions of only a few. We are focusing our help and attention on a subgroup of the population that is most familiar, the employees of Clear Harbor and their families.
So far, we know that numerous families have lost all their possessions and find themselves starting over again. As with any natural disaster of this magnitude, recovery will take some time.
Clear Harbor is a small business in the USA but is a primary employer in Dominica. Many of our employees, representing more than 750 Dominican families, are the main breadwinners of their households. We are attempting to provide direct assistance to these families knowing this will strengthen them to help other Dominicans.
Through our on-island community involvement program, Clear Harbor Cares, we are establishing a disaster relief fund to assist those affected. 100% of funds received by Clear Harbor Cares from GoFundMe will go to support Clear Harbor employees who have suffered a loss and are attempting to rebuild.
A Clear Harbor Cares team in Dominica will analyze needs and distribute funds accordingly. We will provide updates on the impact of help given to families.
We welcome your donations and thank you for your continued prayers and concern as we attempt to meet the many needs of our families during this most difficult time.
C. Tut Smith, President
