I worked at Winding Bay, front desk GSA (guest services ambassador). It’s a bellman but we do a little bit more. We do vallet, we transport guests, we drop off and pick up bags, and also drop off and pick up golf carts for the guests.

The Curry, Rolle and Brown Family

Curry Rolle Brown Family from Abaco Bahamas

We are the Curry, Rolle and Brown Family 3 generations. We live on the Island of Green Turtle Cay, Abaco.

My Name is Nattel Brown, I'm married to Genero Brown. I've been the secretary for the Local Government Office in GTC for 13 years. My mother is Whitlene Curry and my Brother is Ondre Rolle he is also married to Jane Rolle with 4 beautiful children I like to call my own. Aryanna (12) Adryanna (7) Ondre Jr (2) Jamal (1).

We all stayed on the Island of GTC during Hurricane Dorian which as the most dramatic experience we've ever faced. We lost our home, vehicle and most of our jobs since the Hurricane. My brother Ondre had to send his wife and kids to Nassau to live so that they can attend school and my mother went to Freeport to stay for a while until we can get our home rebuilt. The rest of the family is now staying in different homes on GTC because there isn't a place that all of us can live together now. Our home was demolished on October 28th, 2019 and now we have to find means and a way to rebuild our home.

The Reckley Family

Reckley Family from Abaco Bahamas

Wayne & Laures Reckley with their daughter Angel.

My name is Wayne and along with my wife Laures and daughter Angel, we survived hurricane Dorian two months ago while in an apartment in downtown Marsh Harbour, Abaco.

After losing everything including both vehicles..

I'm a small building contractor and my wife an Asian food and sushi chef.

A few days after the storm we were blessed to get on a cargo plane that was dropping off relief supplies in Abaco, and they flew us to Stuart Florida. We spent the first two and a half weeks in Orlando with Lynn and Abe Collins, a most loving couple.. Then we were invited to Mt. Pleasant in Charleston at Liz and Jessie Rhodes home with their two kids, another loving family.. From there we spent a free week in an Airbnb downtown Charleston provided by Tift Mitchell the owner and a caring Realtor..

From there we were placed in the care of Abby and Greg Meyers, another loving and caring family that allowed us to stay at their lovely second home that's on the market for sale on Park Shore Drive.

We are thankful to God and to the many loving neighbours who are always reaching out to us in so many ways.. Special thanks to Morgan Brooks and the South Carolina Abaco Relief team.. For taking special care of other family and friends in the Bahamas.. Morgan drove all the way from James Island Charleston SC to Orlando Florida to bring us new clothing.. Again much love from the three of us.. And may the love of God continue to shine through each of you on to others.. Again many thanks to all of you..🥰
