Story
As most of you know Vaughn grew up in Pointe Michel, Dominica and his family still live on this beautiful caribbean island recently devastated by Hurricane Maria. Vaughns immediate family survived the vicious storm safe and well but they desperately need help with immediate supplies over the coming weeks and months as they help re-build their homes and neighbourhoods. Lots of friends and family have kindly asked us how they can help and this is how... we are raising money to buy water, food and supplies to send back to Vaughn's Mum and sister to help them as they go about the arduous task of helping to recover over the next few months and beyond. Any pounds you spare will go towards shipping immediate supplies, including water, which are not readily accessible after the destruction of the whole island.
The extent of damage to families, homes and livelihoods has been catastrophic for all the locals and the time and money needed to re-build their neighbourhood is going to be a long, time consuming task which will likely go on for years. Dominicans recently sent the majority of their available aid to neighbouring islands to help with the recovery of hurricane Irma sadly unaware of the storm about to hit their own homeland.
Even the smallest donation now will make a huge difference to Vaughns family and will be of great help in these awful and devastating circumstances. We would be so grateful to any and all of you who kindly donate and in return we will update you on the progress of the recovery and re-build of their beautiful home.
