To everyone,
You are absolutely right about the people of SXM. It is one reason we love this island. And why I hate seeing what is happening. I should mention the kindness we experienced this past week. My friends at Dish D’Lish offered to deliver food to us even though we were a two minute walk away. We said we can easily pick up our order. Please use your delivery service for people who cannot pick up or have mobility issues.

The woman who cleans the condo, Mi, an older woman from Haiti. Her English was very limited. I don’t speak creole but I speak enough French to make myself understood so we could communicate. When she found out we had to leave suddenly, she gave me her phone number and asked I call to let her know we got home safely. Because we were leaving, her cleaning schedule was shortened. She wasn’t worried about losing income but that we got home safely.

Sorry no pictures. Will do better next time.
