Growing up in the Caribbean,hurricanes were a way of life.People knew what to do and the necessary precautions to take once the season approached. This never altered the after effects of the hurricane. The emotions are always raw, the reality of devastation and the eerie quietness that would fill the community.
Being prepared doesn't take away the pain you feel when you lose all that you have worked for or the person you love. All you feel is pain and at times a sense of hopelessness.
The silver lining in this whole process is the out pouring of love and kindness from neighbors and strangers that unite us.
We become family and the differences of race, religion,status,gender and culture; that once separated us is erased. Realizing that we are all the same and we need the same common resources are common threads throughout these stories.
The foundation is assisting in this healing process,by focusing on the little ones. They are scared,cold and afraid,they miss the routine of life and the things they can relate to. As adults we can express ourselves in a variety of ways.Children may not be able to do the same.
Our relief boxes are filled with blankets,socks,little gloves,pajamas,rompers, shoes,mittens and hats for their precious heads.
We are urging everyone as they donate to remember to add a little pair of gloves or a baby blanket to their donation,it goes a long way.
If you want to donate to our box. Visit our website @ www.therkmfoundation.org

Let's get involved and give back in any way we can!!!!!
Much love and walk good:-)
