A Note from Afar: Strength, Hope, and Unity
For almost a week, even from miles away and with no signal or proper communication to guide us through the uncertainty, our hearts never left Santo Domingo, Minalin. Despite the distance and the quiet, we poured everything we had into making sure our evacuees and hardworking employees had warm food and riceโa little bit of comfort in the middle of a storm.
To my incredible team: thank you for stepping up. When it mattered most, you didn't just work; you took care of people. Your selflessness and dedication left me in awe.
And to Mama and Dadaโeven though I am so far away right now, my thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. I am holding onto the hope that you are safe, well, and protected over there.
Thank you for making me so proud guys. Keep up the amazing work, look out for one another, and please stay strong.
