Help Winston Stoute Rebuild After Devastating Arson Attack

At 2:30 am on November 20, 2024, tragedy struck Winston Stoute, the owner of Nature Island Transportation. His commercial semi-truck cab—a lifeline for his family and business—was intentionally set on fire in a senseless act of arson. The cab was completely destroyed, and the extent of damage to the engine and attached trailer remains unknown.

Winston, originally from Dominica, the "Nature Island" of the Caribbean, has built Nature Island Transportation into a thriving family business over the past 10 years. A dedicated commercial truck driver for nearly two decades, Winston is also a devoted father to five children, ranging in age from 4 to 23 years old. This catastrophic loss not only threatens his livelihood but also jeopardizes the stability of his family.

Without his truck, Winston stands to lose all of his income—income he relies on to support his family and keep his business afloat. To make matters worse, the fire destroyed his essential paperwork, driver’s license, and most of his clothing. It is unclear if insurance will cover the damages, leaving Winston in a precarious position.

Thankfully, Winston escaped unharmed and is grateful to the Most High for sparing his life. But rebuilding from this loss will be an immense challenge, and he needs your help to recover.

We’re asking for your support to raise $33,000 to help Winston:

Repair or replace his truck so he can get back to work.
Provide for his family during this challenging time.
Cover lost income and the cost of replacing critical items destroyed in the fire.

Winston has always been a hardworking provider and a pillar of strength for his family. Let’s rally around him in his time of need to ensure that this devastating act doesn’t destroy the business he’s worked so hard to build or the future of his children.

Your donation—no matter the amount—will make a significant impact. Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.

Let’s help Winston get back on the road and rebuild his livelihood. Together, we can make a difference.
