Act of Kindness Mission Ministries based in Dayton, Texas felt the need to contribute relief supplies to one of the small islands of the Caribbean known as Dominica affected by Hurricane Maria. Upon hearing the news through one of its members, Mr. Lewis Romain, who is from the Nature Isle, they felt moved with compassion to aid Dominica. Dominica was recently hit by one of the strongest hurricanes known in history and it goes by the name of Maria; a category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Maria had wind gusts going all the way up to 260 miles per hour and as its eye passed over the center most part of the island, it uprooted and destroyed everything in its path. That night when Maria came to Dominica and as the Diasporans sat home watching Dominica go through its greatest disaster, all hope seemed lost when all of a sudden all communications on island went completely dead! The International Media News circuits were all stating that it was all over for Dominica and indeed it was. As morning broke the fears of the night and Maria was already long gone, it was as if Dominica was sent back into the 18th century with the high level of destruction, death and sorrow that followed. No one, not even the news weather professionals in the international arena, expected such a destruction. Why? because it was predicted that the Hurricane would only reach category 2 and increase speeds after it passed over Dominica. Oh how false that was... because Maria Jumped from a Tropical Storm over the Atlantic to a category 5 Hurricane in less than 24 hours! But thank God because it could have been much worse. The sense of emergency on island, brought in individuals and organizations from far and wide. The Act of Kindness Mission Ministries were one of those, and through the efforts of Mr. Romain, some additional relief was provided to communities around the island.
