It is with great pleasure to announce that, in addition to the tens of thousands of dollars in relief supplies, relief flights, and shipments that have been donated, we have successfully raised over $20,000 for the Rum Cay hurricane relief efforts. With these funds it’s been decided to focus our relief efforts on helping Rum Cayans bring their households back in working order.

Therefore, Rum Cay Bahamian home owners were asked which household item they needed the most. And due to budget restrictions we were only able to assist those households that were “in the water” during the hurricane with new mattresses.

With the assistance of Taylor Industries who graciously allowed us some serious negotiations and to Imperial Mattresses who also granted us a gracious hurricane relief discount we were able to make the following purchases.

8 x Refrigerators

12 x Washers

3 x Ranges

5 x 32” TV’s

1 x Water Pump

21 x Mattresses

We would also like to thank Ms. Patton the agent for the Lady Frances who also negotiated the shipping costs for this order.

Most of the appliances/TV’s are currently on the mailboat due to set sail today from Nassau at 6pm. Due to a shortage of inventory everything made it except for four washers and one TV which will be sent to Rum Cay as soon as they are back in stock. All of the mattresses are scheduled to be delivered on the next mailboat due to space limitations.

Thank you to all of those who graciously donated money towards this effort. Thank you to all of those who graciously donated their time towards flying relief supplies to Rum Cay. Thank you to all of those who donated supplies in Florida. Thank you.

Happy New Year and let’s make this a good one!
