A Public Record of the Recovery

After months of emergency response and recovery work, hundreds of projects, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, we wanted to thank every donor and show clearly how the money was used during one of the most difficult periods Union Island has ever faced.

This GoFundMe was created so donated money could move quickly and directly toward people in need, urgent supplies, transport, power, tools, repairs, and practical recovery work on the ground. This site is our public record of that effort.

Our goal is also to help set a stronger standard for transparency. Many private fundraisers, NGOs, and large recovery donations supported Union Island after Hurricane Beryl. We hope more groups will publish clear records showing how recovery money was received, spent, and connected to real work.

Here, you can explore a detailed analysis of our expenses, projects, public updates, proof records, and spending categories. Some names, personal details, account numbers, and sensitive information are withheld for safety and privacy. Many invoices are kept on file rather than posted openly online, but documented proof exists and can be reviewed through an appropriate review process.

During the first days after the hurricane, the priority was moving help quickly, not building a perfect office system. Some small emergency costs, field costs, and personal losses were accepted as lost and are not included in the public accounting unless supported by records. We tried to keep invoices and records for everything possible, and the figures shown here are intended to be conservative and document-backed.

To strengthen the review, the records were also checked with accounting support in St. Vincent so the totals, categories, and supporting documents could be reviewed more than once before publication.

The direct relief work also went beyond the exact cash received, with additional costs and losses personally absorbed as part of the wider effort. This record focuses on showing what was raised, what was spent, what was documented, and how the money was used for impact.
