Make a gift to Operation Helping Hands Fund for Grand Turk
Eighty-five percent of homes on the island were either damaged or destroyed and, while some governmental and relief organizations are assisting, much more help is needed. Grand Turk is a small island and its’ plight is currently receiving little media focus or international attention.
Carnival Corporation & plc has acted swiftly to rebuild the port with plans to reopen the Grand Turk Cruise Center by October 8, 2008. This will bring much needed cruise tourism money back to the island quickly. Our efforts are not limited to the port itself. We are rebuilding certain island facilities like roads, signs, public areas, as well. And we are also continuing to take care of the port facility’s 42 employees, many of whom have lost their homes.

To provide further help to the people of Grand Turk Island, the United Way of Miami-Dade has agreed to set up a fund that will be earmarked specifically to Grand Turk. This will assist the residents of Grand Turk in rebuilding after this devastating storm.

A special website has been established by United Way to collect monetary donations for Grand Turk Island. Any dollar amount you may wish to donate will be of tremendous assistance and greatly appreciated by those in dire need at this time.
