As many of you have seen, the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas were completely obliterated. Hurricane Dorian destroyed these beautiful islands as a category 5, sitting on top of them for 30 hours with winds of 185 mph. The Bahamians are fighting for their lives right now, it’s time to help our neighbors. It will take years before these islands come back. Join us in gathering supplies and donating to help relief efforts for the beautiful Bahamas.
All of those supplies you didn’t use for Hurricane Dorian are very much needed for the people in the Bahamas. Instead of returning bought and unused supplies, we ask that you donate them to Bahamas relief efforts.
How you can help
Below is a list of supplies that are needed. There are many Go Fund Me accounts circling around the internet. Here are some trustworthy accounts and websites that you can donate towards. You can also help by visiting the other Bahamian islands that were not affected by Hurricane Dorian.
