Update from Ile-a-Vache (5-10-2016)
Patrick Lucien spoke with the mayor this morning. What they need urgently are food, water, toiletries and equipment to start cleaning up debris. To expedite the process, you can send fund directly via Western Union or Moneygram, he has someone who can receive the money and start buying everything in Les Cayes. Please email patlucien@yahoo.com, who will share the name of the recipient.
The mayor will then keep track of the expenses and send us back a report. He thinks by 6-10-2016, boats will be able to make the trip to Les Cayes. Later, donations could be sent through the organization at www.edem2.org They encourage you to continue supporting this beautiful community.
By 11:00 am 6-10-2016 the mayor will meet with members of the Civil Protection to start an assessment of the damage caused by the hurricane and will write up a report. His plan is to have a team in each of those locations: Madame Bernard, Kaikok and Baleraz to start distribution and then expand in other locations later.
Thanks,
Patrick
Update from Mayor Amazan, Ile-a-Vache (5-10-2016)
Patrick Lucien spoke with mayor Amazan, he said all he can conclude is that Ile-a-Vache is completely destroyed. He cannot give a complete evaluation of the situation but every home in his neighbourhood, including his own, is damaged. Most roofs are gone.
This weather has been hitting them hard for the past 3 days, therefore people are running out of food. The local re-sellers are running out and would probably keep what they have for their family. He is hosting a bunch of people at home and had to borrow money to feed them and he too, is running out.
