Hurricane Beryl's Aftermath: Carriacou Residents' Survival Stories

Hi everyone, here is a link set up by the Grenada government for direct Hurricane Beryl relief. pay.gov.gd/

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.

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.

“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!

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

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.

I admire that gentleman's response and that of his friend. "I'm alive." ...." We rebuild" We are very resilient here in the Caribbean. Stay safe, strong and positive and let's help a fellow man where we can.

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 ❤

The people of Carriacou should be an example to all of us. Amazing video

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!!!

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 🙏

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

I LOVE how the Caribbean mindset is GRATITUDE! Live thanks for LIFE. Money comes, money goes. But life!

Those words, " I'd rather spend it to rebuild than to spend it for health." Smart man... so true!

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.

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.

Absolutely, let's take a moment to honor and appreciate the people of Carriacou. Their resilience and strength of spirit, despite facing adversity, is truly remarkable. They show us what it means to persevere in the face of challenges. Supporting them through donations can make a real difference in helping them rebuild their lives and communities.

I am from Jamaica about to face what's coming but my heart goes out to these people of this country
