"Our hearts are filled with compassion and our prayers are with all those who have been affected.  Many people had little to no time to prepare for this devastatingly acute hurricane.

We offer our sincerest thanks to Goya for their unwavering presence and unwavering aid," said Michael Capponi, Founder of Global Empowerment Mission.
