Support for Hurricane Beryl's Victims

Donation protected
On Monday, July 1st, 2024, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in the Caribbean, completely destroying the land and displacing 95% or more of the individuals. Grenada in the Windward Islands is a tri-island state consisting of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Carriacou and Petite Martinique are part of the Grenadine chain of islands, with Carriacou being the largest - only 13 square miles, while Petite Martinique is 586 acres.

Hurricane Beryl made landfall as a major category 4/5 storm which caused havoc to the islands and left a trail of devastation in its path. The eye of the hurricane passed directly over Carriacou, and shredded the island in a couple of hours. Many homes, businesses, and livelihoods have been affected; the roofs of about 98% of the infrastructure on the island were torn off due to winds over 140mph. A lot of families and individuals are now without homes/shelter as some houses have been completely flattened. There is a shortage of food, water, and essential items. About 8 deaths have also been recorded since. There is currently no electricity on the island and the cell tower was destroyed by the hurricane.

This hits home to me, as I have spent all of my formative years on the island of Carriacou. Coincidentally, I was due to travel to the island on the 12th of July and am now taking relief items to help support families until more relief is made.

I am kindly asking for donations to help support the purchases of emergency supplies on the island to help give back to those in need.
