Things have been so very difficult for everyone who was in the path of Hurricane Irma but it’s time to start looking towards the future. That future involves rebuilding St. Martin/St. Maarten, restoring order, distributing food and supplies, getting power back up, cleaning up, and recovering as best we can.
I wanted to share a few videos and social media posts that I found to be uplifting examples of the beauty of the human spirit, of the people of this island. If you haven’t given to help rebuild, please do now!
Here’s an encouraging message posted on Facebook by Castel Abraham:
More people helping by giving out food and supplies:
