I saw a photo right after the hurricane, with just about all of the outdoor stuff gone.

Somewhere immediately after the hurricane, I saw that Bruno and his family were physically ok. Has anyone heard any updates from any of his businesses or from him since then?

Other than the photo I mentioned, and others I've seen showing all of Orient Beach leveled; I've seen nothing posted by or about Bruno and his businesses. Just checked his Facebook page again, and nothing.

Bruno and his family are ok as well as O Paradis. But all of his business are gone.
We all have been praying for them. They said they would update when they get wifi and services back.

We received the same message from Bruno about 10 days ago. While we were happy to hear that the family is well we were heartbroken to hear the news of his businesses. We keep them in our thoughts every day.

Such a shame. He's such a hard worker and had done such an excellent job with everything he did.

Such a big blow for Bruno. I really hope he will have the strength to rebuilt some of his businesses. It will be a gradual process for sure and will take a lot of funds and determination. He is a strong individual and I'm sure he will have some things up and running in the near future.

I heard from a friend on the island that both Dreams and Le Sand (? - place next door) are gone. Hope they're both back soon.

Couldn't agree more. I hope he's able to start over - and I know he'll have tremendous support if he does.


Respectfully,
