(EDITOR’S NOTE: I simply had to share this powerful “message” posted by sensational Bahamian track and field star Shaunae Miller-Uibo on Facebook on Saturday, October 5, 2019.)
By SHAUNAE MILLER-UIBO
Hi everyone, as you may already know, a few days ago hurricane Dorian reached the shorelines of the island of Abaco and then settled over Grand Bahama, both of which are the northern islands of The Bahamas.
This hurricane packed winds of up to 220mph which meant that this was the strongest hurricane ever recorded for The Bahamas.
As expected, it left a path of destruction and devastation for thousands. Lives were lost, homes and property destroyed and the harmony of our communities disrupted.
I know the Bahamian Government along with International organisations will assist rebuilding in the upcoming days.
Due to my upbringing within the church, I realise the Church’s importance not only from a religious standpoint but also the social welfare it provides to our communities. So with this being said, I would like to contribute $25,000 to assist two Churches, one in Abaco and the other in Grand Bahama. We’re also hoping to buy food supplies for these churches that people from the affected areas will not only have a place of worship but also a place to find meals and/or supplies during these trying times.
Along with what I have already donated I have also created a go fund me page for others that wish to contribute. Thank you and God bless. One people united in love and service 🇧🇸🙏🏾🇧🇸
