Gift Giver / Thursday, October 10, 2019 / Categories: Story of Giving Green Turtle Cay Foundation Katy Ping This story of giving is from Katy Ping My daughter was married in the Bahamas and lived there for fifteen years. She and David called Green Turtle Cay home. It is a water taxi ride from Abaco. Her children were born in Florida, and were taken back home at six weeks old. They had weathered several hurricanes before moving to Charleston, South Carolina. They kept their home on Green turtle and have many friends there. When the latest hurricane Durian struck the Caribbean, Green Turtle was in line with the eye wall. The eye never passed them so there was no relief. While Abaco was flattened with a wall of water, Green turtle was damaged with the tornadoes in the wall along with the wind and rain. A group in the community has set up a foundation to help with relief on the island. Abaco supplied their electricity and it is not projected to have power for two years. Green turtle would like to create a power source and rebuild their community. I have heard that the school is back in session already. I received a check for $100 and added $200 to it to make a donation to the Green Turtle Cay Foundation.
