My heart is saddened to see my people suffering because of the disastrous hurricane. Homes demolished, business wiped out, cultivation destroyed...livelihood gone. I hope this government will use some of the money they constantly siphon for themselves and help these people. Hood

God is total control at all times. Sorry for the loss of all who have suffered the storm. Let us pray to God for help.
