Personal Stories from Grenada

Jean Palmer

Jean has lived in St. George in this house since 1971. She now finds herself all alone as she had to send her daughter away to live on a near-by island to escape the present realities. Jean has no electricity or phone. She has to walk two miles every day for water. Hurricane Ivan destroyed her bedroom and living room. Jean now lives and sleeps on the floor of her kitchen, which is about six feet by seven feet in dimension. Jean is one that calls out to God for help. God in turn gives us the opportunity to be His answer.

Evonne

Evonne has lived here for so many years she can’t remember how long it has been. Her mother, who lived with her, passed away in 2003. Three young ladies from the Mennonite Mission were helping Evonne to pick up the pieces of her life that were scattered about by Hurricane Ivan. Work teams really work! The joy on Evonne’s face is worth all the work.

Gideon Gibson

Gideon is 69 years old and has disabilities that do not allow him to work. He relocated his colourful home 10 years ago to this location that has a beautiful view of the ocean. Three weeks after Hurricane Ivan, he still hasn’t had any government assistance. Gideon says that some family and friends have helped him out with food. He and his small dog now live in a 6-foot by 4-foot room that still has a roof on it.

Devastated Family

Mom, Dad, five children, and a Grandpa live in this house. Ninety percent of the roof was ripped off by Hurricane Ivan. The mother is trying to find all their clothes and has been cleaning since the hurricane attacked. The dad told us that he was fighting to keep the door closed when he saw the roof torn off above his head. It is rainy season now and every day their possessions get wet.
