First of all, thanks for everyone who donated! We crushed our original goal of $2k! Today I executed the following donations:
1. $1,000 - The Ranfurly Homes for Children in Nassau. They have opened their doors to children from Abaco and Grand Bahama that have been displaced by Hurricane Dorian. These funds will assist the enrolling of these children in private schooling and trauma counseling.

2. $1,000 - TREASURE CAY, ABACO Community Foundation Canada – https://tccfcanada.ca/
3. $335 to Jody Albury and his family. I have had the pleasure of fishing with Jody, and he is a great guy. Per the Go Fund Me page set up for them, "Jody is a fishing guide and his wife Ruth works for a non profit organization dedicated to preserving the environment of the Abacos. So they are both deeply rooted in their community. Marsh Harbour and Man O War Cay are the only home Jody and Ruth have ever known.
Hurricane Dorian swept their home away. Like countless others, Jody and Ruth had to swim to safety in the middle of the storm and ride it out for two days on the second floor of another house. They had no food and no water and only the clothes on their backs. Once the storm passed, Jody and Ruth realized their beloved home was gone. Not only was their home gone but their cars, and all of the possessions they hold dear."
Special thanks to everyone that helped spread the word -
