Rebuilding Carriacou&Petite Martinique after Hurricane Beryl

Hi my name is Kyle Campbell and I am a British citizen of Caribbean descent, to be exact, from the Island of Carriacou. Carriacou is a small island which forms part of the 3 island nation of Grenada, which also includes our sister island of Petite Martinique. As you may or may not know, on July 1st “Hurricane Beryl” made landfall on the island of Carricou, with it being a high end category 4 hurricane causing total devastation. Around 95% of the infrastructure on both Carriacou and Petite Martinique was either damaged or completely wiped out, including the only hospital on Carriacou being destroyed, directly impacting the lives of not only a large majority of my family members, but also everybody who resides on the Island.

I have decided to launch this gofundme page in support of “The Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs”, so that any contribution can help rebuild the lives of the locals on the island. Relief efforts initially have been focused on providing food, water and essential supplies but in the long term, further efforts into rebuilding homes, shops and community centres to bring the islands back on their feet are crucial as so much has been lost, but there is an opportunity to do good and help the good people of these islands. The rainy season usually hits during the months of September- October so this may even just be the beginning of what is to come so being proactive is imperative to help people get a head start on what lies ahead. For more information please follow this link so that if you would like to understand more about what has happened and statistics relating to such; https://www.acaps.org/fileadmin/Data_Product/Main_media/20240718_ACAPS_Grenada_-_Impact_of_hurricane_berryl.pdf

I understand that it is a difficult time for everybody taking into account the current cost of living crisis, so any contribution would be greatly appreciated and if that is not something you are able to do, please share this to friends and family to help spread the word as it would not only mean the world to me, but to everyone on the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. This will be a long rebuilding process for the whole community so I wish you all can keep them in your thoughts and prayers, thank you.
