On Aug. 14, 2019, Hurricane Dorian set its sights on Grand Bahama Island. For more than 18 hours, it pummeled the Bahamas, dumping more than 24 inches of rain and killing more than 65 people. Our good friend Nolan Nesbitt grew up on that island and his family, who still lives there today, lost everything in the storm.
Maxcine Nesbitt, Nolan's mom, lost her home -- it was stripped to the studs by the 220 mph wind. A contractor has estimated repairs to her modest home at $95,000. Home insurance will cover $75,000. Nolan has cashed out all of his vacation, flown to Florida and brought basic supplies to his family on the boat that ferries between Florida and Grand Bahama. Water, paper plates, toilet paper, fans -- the simply luxuries we take for granted are not available anywhere on the island. The airports are closed, the island is in total disarray and our friend needs our help.
This is where you can make a difference. We're asking each of you to help us raise money for his family to help make up the $20,000 insurance shortfall. Nolan and Miranda are flying Maxcine to MN for a much-needed reprieve from the destruction. While she's here for the holidays, we'd like to present her with our collective gift.
Nolan's mother means the world to him. As a single mother of five, she always put others before herself. Nolan would never ask for our support -- but together, we can show Nolan how much he means to us and create a Christmas miracle.
