Some folks that had a couple of houses in Guana Cay, the wife did a good job writing up their experience going back to to check in on their houses.

The closing paragraphs really struck me. They are not expecting to have power back for at least one year.

As the plane climbed, I looked down at the destroyed landscape below me.
Guana Cay is still there. They are alive and moving forward one board at a time.
Their homes are either gone or are damaged and patched. They have no electricity and won’t for probably a year. Their jobs are gone. Most of them don’t have hurricane insurance because it’s simply cost prohibitive. No one is going to come in and help them rebuild.
Their only clean drinking water is what you give. Their only food is what you give. The only supplies they will have to rebuild their homes and their lives is what you give.
Their lives are forever changed, but they have embraced it and are determined to rebuild. Their spirits and joy are beautiful. Great Guana Cay will be a Greater Guana Cay, but they need so much help.
If this blog has brought you any joy over the years, I ask that you please give something to the foundation set up just for Guana Cay. Donations are being matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor up to $1 million dollars. All funds are tax deductible and 100% of the funds will go directly to Guana Cay. This is administered by someone I know and trust.
Please give anything you can through the Great Guana Cay Foundation.
And please don’t forget about them. They need our help for some time to come.
It’s still gooder on Guana Cay.
Much love!
