Bahamas Disaster Relief And Recovery Thread
Hey, GLP- like many of you I am watching the horror unfold in the Bahamas from the aftermath of Dorian. Utter devastation has occured on several islands, and people are in need of rescue. The infrastructure is gone in these places and most buildings are either very damaged or are totally demolished.

The Bahamas consider themselves a Christian nation, and it is very obvious that they are counting on prayer and on God to get them through this. It will be a very long process. Please remember these are our brothers and sisters in Christ, with a humanitarian disaster of unbelievable magnitude to deal with right now.

I wanted to start this thread for people to keep up with what's going on and to provide donation links for those who want to help with money, goods or volunteering. So please, add to this thread and let's help out these great people.

Links: ZNS Bahamas News has been livestreaming virtually the entire time. You can see in the FB chat if you watch on FB, people looking for loved ones and people trying to help.

David Begnaud is there and livestreaming frequently. He did a great job during Maria and is a good one to keep up with.

The NGOs are starting to pour into Nassau to launch relief efforts. Chef Jose Andres and his org World Kitchens is on the ground with meals being distributed. His is a worthy org to donate to. [link to twitter.com (secure)]

All Hands and Hearts does incredible work and stays long after the Red Cross and others are gone. They are a worthy org to donate to. [link to www.allhandsandhearts.org (secure)]

The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis

This is Abaco and they are suffering great damage. If you look closely you can see groups of survivors who have banded together for safety and resources. There are reports of looting going on. The US Coast Guard is on site now and I believe were the first ones in, already rescuing people.
