Before the Hurricane
Feel free to
copy the letter sent by the Consul General
of Grenada for distribution.

We can all help in this effort !
Grenada suffered a direct hit for Ivan and preliminary reports indicate that there is tremendous damage to personal property, livestock, produce
and life. We do not have a firm number on the details of the effect of Ivan as yet, however, we are quite certain that the impact is quite substantial.

As we battle with our own efforts in the state of Florida with the after effects of Hurricane Charlie and more recently, Hurricane Frances, it is what a very humble heart I reach out to you for assistance for our fellow countrymen. At this time we do not have details of the urgent needs in Grenada, however I am quite certain that the following items would be requested:
To make other physical donations, monetary contribution, or
volunteer to help, please read the instructions below, or go to our
Grenada Relief Update page for more information.
Thank you for your donation
Travel 2 the Caribbean featured Grenada, the Spice Island, in our September 2004 newsletter, and just days later we heard the shocking
news that 80% of the island was severely damaged by Hurricane Ivan.
