The Caribbean people are such beautiful people. They're alive and they're thankful. They are resilient and they will rebuild. It's their spirit.

I'm in Jamaica, awaiting Beryl. Lord help us, all.

“Today, Samaritan’s Purse airlifted a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) and over 24 tons of life-saving supplies to the Caribbean on our DC-8 Cargo Plane in response to Hurricane Beryl. Over the weekend, we anticipated the storm's potentially catastrophic impact and began preparing our equipment, supplies and team. By noon today, the DC-8 took off to Grenada with 13 members of our DART along with 600 rolls of tarp, 3,000 solar lights, a desalination unit, 300 collapsible jerry cans, and a mobile medical unit. We started building out pallets of cargo before the hurricane even made landfall and are now on the way with life-saving aid.”

I adore the folks on my island. We don't break; we just bend. Such wonderful viewpoints. God, please supply the necessities!

This is the first time I've ever seen a journalist be 'real' in the aftermath of a major hurricane. He's treating the situation with the utmost respect. The people who live on the island feel his concern and deep respect. My heart hurts for everyone. Thankful that so many people survived. Thank God.

Can we take a moment to appreciate those people? Despite what they went through, their spirit is unbroken. THAT is absolute resilience and strength of will. They're built differently in Carriacou. Let's help them rebuild with our donations.
-
The people of the Caribbean are so humbling. I pray that one day everyone can lead by their example. I'm praying for these people and their families ❤
-
They lost everything, and still they smile. I pray that every dollar donated make it in to the hands of the people that need it.

Dear young man, your food truck is gone, your restaurant gone, both you and your mom lost your home. Good thing is, you are both safe, and the world is watching and we care!!!
-
The people of Carriacou should be an example to all of us. Amazing video
-
Here in Jamaica, tht maybe our experience come tomorrow! but God is good, He is merciful, He will protect, provide and He will NEVER leave us alone. People of Carriacou, your thankful, grateful and humble spirits are already being rewarded, because that's the kind of attitude that touches the heart of God 🙏

To the guy with the food truck,restaurant don't give up we are praying for you and everyone one on the island 😢🙇🏽♀️👏

Your video is 10x better than any news outlet, there is hardly any footage of Carriacou on the internet. Good job, hope that help arrives as soon as possible.

I LOVE how the Caribbean mindset is GRATITUDE! Live thanks for LIFE. Money comes, money goes. But life!
-
“ It’s understanding Life goes on with or without” not dwelling on what has happened, but how to go forward” this man has wisdom and love, said hours after the island is decimated. Beautiful human being.
-
It’s a West Indian mentality, we move forward and not dwell on the past. We don’t rewind, we are always grateful for our lives.
-
Those words, " I'd rather spend it to rebuild than to spend it for health." Smart man... so true!
-
That is my ancestral home. My heart is breaking.😢 We are a strong and resilient people and by the grace of God, we will bounce back.
-
I appreciate you speaking with the people, observing their unwavering energy, and emphasizing their needs. Bless you, and bless them.

The characteristics of us Caribbean people. We might go through the worst but always keep positive. Life is precious.
