Hey everyone! I appreciate you watching and being a part of this community I am trying to build. Sadly, the attention in this situation has dwindled. Sharing the video, liking and commenting really will help. Also, if you can, support the sponsor of the video. It’s how we can continue to do independent journalism like this!

The British man cried not for his loss but for the extreme kindness and care of the men who came to his house. They lost EVERYTHING, but they were concerned about another person's property.

Jonathan,I stumbled onto your channel on the day you landed in Carriacou,before the hurricane hit.I stayed with you until we loss electricity.I live in the northern part of Grenada. You are a very brave and also compassionate person.I just want to say Thank you for coming back and continuing to share our story. You are awesome,may God be with you always.

Your reporting is so down to earth and humanizing. Thank you for your work.

The lady in the red dress tells the truth. Thank God for Life. Having been through a few hurricanes in the Caribbean, once in a sailboat, my heart breaks for the people who are living in the long aftermath of Beryl. Seeing wealthy people who lost some of their second homes (aka snowbirds) leave their comfortable northern homes to help the people who lost so much more is heartwarming. The worst of Mother Nature brings out the best in Human Nature.

I'm so glad to see your update Jonathan, thank you for caring and showing the World!

Thank you for helping my lovely island, am watching from Grenada❤💚💛🇬🇩
-
Jonathan I want to thank you sincerely for your unselfishness and kindness you have exhibited to the people of Carriacou in behalf of the entire Caribbean community and I hope Caricom will recognise your contribution

Good , brave work Jonathan, journalism at its finest. Highlighting the plight of the islanders so the world doesn’t forget the help they need.
-
Thanks for going back and showing the horrible aftermath, but also the strength of the human spirit, and their faith, their hope.

I lived thru Hurricane Camile Aug. 1969 Mississippi....cat 5+...was on NE side of storm....storm surge so high there was seaweed on the top of what power lines were left standing, houses gone, apartment buildings gone, roads, bridges, for miles inland, weather instruments at Keesler AFB broke at 210 mph....they don't really know how fast the wind was back then.....huge cargo carrier boats lay across Hwy. 90 in Gulfport...was quite a night & for many months after. We didn't have power for a very long time. That's when 'price gouging' began. Bread went from .25 cents to a $1 overnight! I certainly can relate to the island people....its not easy, but they are correct, the community comes together & it gets done. Great reporting. Blessings💖🌻

Jonathan, I was on the island of Carriacou when the hurricane hit. I just want to take the time to thank you for what you did in communicating to the world what was happening and how bad it was. Also thank you for enabling us to through your starlink to communicate with our families. I was able to tell my wife I was ok. We take these simple things for granted! Thanks for your concern.

God bless you carricou the comeback is GREATER ❤
-
How you were able to walk after that boat ride amazes me. Thank you for bringing the stories of these people. Their faith in GOD is beautiful.
-
Wonderful place, wonderful people! They will rebuild! Thank you for bringing awareness to the rest of the world!
-
Bless you Jonathan for making these videos. Carriacou and Petite Martinique need help but the woman in the video is correct that they are very independent people. Aside from basic needs of food and water, they need the materials to rebuild and repair their homes and businesses. Let those of us in the states and across the world know exactly where our money should go to purchase building supplies. When human beings come together, there is nothing we can't do.
-
Great work Jonathan, thank you for continuing to show this to the world.
-
God bless the people of Carriacou. Thank you for sharing their story. If anyone can help please donate to help rebuild their homes. God bless !
-
Thanks for highlighting the real crisis - long after the action goes
-
Thanks for showing us. Oh my heart breaking for the people. Old and poor but prayed to my Father to touch hearts that are in position to help. God bless All. ❤❤❤
