Aiding the Abacos Islands

Wed, 09/18/2019 - 13:13

While the White House either is or is not hurtling toward war with Iran, the Democratic primary, and, not to overlook it, the beginning steps of a presidential impeachment, we should not forget that thousands of residents of the Abacos Islands in the Bahamas remain in dire need of assistance. Conditions two weeks after Hurricane Dorian have hardly improved. Food and potable water supplies are shrinking and access to medical care is extremely limited. One way to help is by donating to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund; other vetted aid programs can be found at charitynavigator.org. This is a moment we each should do our part.
