Help the people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique recover

On 1 July, the eye of Hurricane Beryl bore down on two tiny islands in the Eastern Caribbean - Carriacou is 13 square miles with a population of 5,000 and Petite Martinique is 0.92 square miles with a population of approx. 600. The devastation is unimaginable with 80% of housing stock and businesses destroyed. There is no running water, power is intermittent, and the mobile cell towers are down so little or no communication. Food will quickly become scarce and health hangs in the balance with no running water and overflowing septic tanks.

I am Dawn De Coteau and I am the President of the Marine and Yachting Association of Grenada. Along with the rest of the board members of MAYAG, we are requesting your URGENT assistance to help the people on Carriacou and Petite Martinique through these critical days after the storm.

The video above shows only part of the devastation. The videographer has said he will fly his drone over other areas of the island. I will post those once he does.

This is real. This is devastating. These people need your help and assistance. MAYAG would love to raise £50,000 so we can arrange to purchase much-needed supplies from the UK and ship them over. We have teams in the UK and the USA which will organise this and we can receive the goods on the island and make sure they get to the right people—the people most in need.

Any donations you can give, however small, will make a difference. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts and from everyone on Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
