Story
Hello. This is Eniye and JD. We own the Carib-Beans Superfoods Coffee Shop on the beautiful island of St Vincent and the Grenadines . We recently experienced a devastating natural disaster with the volcano erupting on Friday the 9th of April. Since then there has been further eruptions and a lot of heavy ash fall. There is no end in sight as the eruptions continue.
Over 20,000 persons have been displaced having to evacuate their homes. The shelters here are not adequately provided with basic needs like beds / cots to sleep on and at present the island has sold out of drinking water with water systems being shut off to preserve them .
St Vincent and the Grenadines is in desperate need of assistance as we get through this very difficult time. We willl use the funds donated to provide essentials for all the shelters island wide in the months ahead as we work together to rebuild our country.
Thank you for your kind contributions . In the first 48 hours of the eruption, we were able to raise an incredible $8648 USD/ $23,372 ECD/ $6308 GDP and counting (!) , with the love and support of our dear friends and family. We did so through a local donation site PaySwift. As the fundraising and awareness grew, we decided to host on a bigger platform here. We wanted to acknowledge all those previously anonymous donors here who rallied together in the first hours to secure bedding, water and other essentials : Eleanor Jackson, Felicia Kronlof, Amelia Furgusson, Tom Lieber, Monica Canilao, Sarah Pendergast, Bronwen Halsey, Benjamin Dorr, Norah Emily, Mark Dempsey, Becky O'Keefe, Claire Engelhardt, Victoria Curnette, Blair Davis, Stephanie Gonzales, Don Hardaway, Salihah Kirby, Sarah Garrity, Stephanie Gervais, Liam Newnham, Rebecca Snappe, Lydia Moffet, Zoe Marden, Elizabeth & Elle Duncombe, Rachel James, Sarah Swan, Nurya Gilbert, Jonah Swartz, Erin Hassler, Thomas Hancock, Rebecca Hadaway, Ben Hirst, Galen Koch, Eugene Koch, Sarah Young, Paula Levin, Mary Swortwood, Carly Mentalik, Patrick Mcfarlene, Tyler Lausten, Kacey Johansing, Malinda Smith, Amanda Palamo, Arianna Campellone, Savana Pettengill, Amber Guild, Sofia Gianni, Yanina Sorenson, Cheryl Teffer, Pierre Jean, Peremoboere Kagbala, Rosalind Lewis, Emma Lyon, Deborah Tregaa, Damon Burton, Kathrin Gulck, Amy Frost, Leslie O Toole, Talisa McBean, Jeanette, Monroque, Casey Levine, Mark Lilja, Jody Pearcy, Rachel Scoll, Amelia Glum, Claira Hermet, Carolina Alganza, Becky Mendoza, Rayna Holmes, Christina Wood, Vera Sibilio, Joan Lacasse, Eliana Yoneda, Alexander Stein, Katrina Davidson, Eve Stanton, Natalya Falconer, Malinda Smith, Asher Davis, Mariah Richards, Amy Nelson, Kia Thomas,Rosanna Nafziger, Danielle Bell, Violet Somers, Barabra Vaughn, Joseph Cummins, Amy Diawara, Isis Magee, Makawana Drew, Leah Dawson, Helena Teritt, Kristina Nagel, Ndeye Ndiaye, Matt King, Kiebpoli Calnek, John Verrall, Alara Altun, Suzanne Hoyem, Callie Maron, Scott Nailor, Sophie Russel, Lauren Lozano, Jane Pynter, Melissa Weiss, Christian Duff, Brooke Smith, Melissa Lockhart, Marigold Santos, Lisa Resnick, Hannah Berezin, Ryan Liles, James Thomas Jr. , Michael Carrol, David Colt, Celine Semaan, Yulia Bentchova, Vanessa Shen, Tiffany Warman, Jane Imotte, John Cappetta, Elizabeth Walsh, Zemeica Singer, Adianna Delgado, Emma Fitzgerald,Kelsey Sostoa, Annica Karlsson, Sharonda Dailey, Chukwunwike Obi, Peter Stewart, Anna Wolfram, Tanya Nasman, Amy Skeleton, Flor Herrera, Pamela Bailinson, Blake Hurzeler, Andrew Ta, Lucas Smithy, Rebecca Horner, Cameron Earl, Julia Cattrall, Carlos Gacharna, Madeline Tonzi, Laura Gunnip, Atim Boykin, Basil Denard, Michael Rebinski AND COUNTLESS OTHERS THAT CONTINUE TO COME IN!

3 years agoHello everyone , we are so grateful for your kindness and care for us here in St Vincent. Thank you so much ! The eruptions have been continuous , we have now experienced over 30 eruptions since April 9th . The red zones are completely destroyed and uninhabitable. There are many families with young children in shelters who are experiencing deep uncertainty of what will happen next so making them feel a bit of comfort by purchasing daily necessities we are hoping this will help to ease a bit of the burden of feeling displaced .
