Restoring dreams after devastating boat wreck

As a seasoned 70-year-old captain, Ingo, devoted his life to the sea and embarked on countless journeys, making memories and building a life's savings aboard his beloved boat. This vessel was not just a means of transportation; it was his home, his sanctuary, and his retirement plan.

I reach out to you in the aftermath of an unexpected and devastating event that has profoundly impacted the life of an incredible individual– . He was caught in the merciless grip of a hurricane Alex, that wreaked havoc on his sailboat, leaving him in a desperate situation. The coast guard could not reach him the night of the storm due to rough seas. He had to wait all night in the ocean hanging on to the capsized boat. Thankfully the coast guard rescued him and two others to safety and all three made it alive.

In the face of nature's fury, the sailboat, once a vessel of dreams and adventures, was lost to the unforgiving ocean.

I heard about this story and wanted a way to help the skipper get a better sailboat that can withstand a storm. The road ahead is filled with uncertainties, and the financial burden is overwhelming especially at 70. We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to provide them with the support they desperately need to get back on his feet.

How the Funds Will Help:

Replacing Lost Possessions: Assisting in the rebuilding of his life by replacing essential items lost in the storm. Hiring people to help with rebuilding a boat.

Towards a New Beginning: Contributing to the costs of starting anew, getting a better sailboat, especially for the Skipper whose main source of income is boating.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to helping us reclaim our lives. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in their journey towards recovery and rebuilding.

Please join me in offering a helping hand on a path of rebuilding what the hurricane took away. Your support and kindness will be a beacon of hope in my darkest hours.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

With gratitude,

All funds are directly deposited to the recipient Ingo , the captain. He is very appreciative for our efforts.

I will be withdrawing the money on Ingo's behalf and transferring the funds to his IBan account which is outside of Gofundme.

The account is still active and I will hope to get a few more donations by the end of the month.

Thank you!
