BAHAMAS HELP: JAX Man Bought 100 Generators to Help, Will Be Delivered By Boat!
(CNN, 9/4/19). His receipt read $49,285.70 and most of that came from paying $450 a pop for 100 generators. Peas, beans, coffee, salt, pepper and other essentials made up the rest of his mega purchase from a Costco in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday. All of it is going to those in need on the hard-hit islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco, he said.
"About 100 generators and a truck load of food and chainsaws are all going over by boat on Thursday to Marsh Harbour in The Bahamas. It's terrible and I'm sure you've seen the photos," a farmer from Jacksonville told CNN on Wednesday.
The man wishes not to be named. He said he doesn't want the attention and would rather that people focus on helping those affected by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. "It's important that we help each other out. It's better than just sitting there," he said. "You see a need and you fill it."
The world knows about this man's good deed because someone else was at that Costco buying a generator, as his was going out. He overheard someone talking about what the farmer just did. "I had to go up there to him and say, 'Thank you for doing this,'" Alec Sprague said. "I am so glad to see someone doing this." Sprague snapped a photo of the anonymous donor from behind and also shared an image of the many generators he purchased.
Getting the generators, food and other supplies to the Bahamas from Jacksonville is going to be a journey. Trucks will drive the supplies to Stuart, Florida, about 250 miles south. The farmer said he has a storage facility set up there so the items could then be transported to the Bahamas by boat...More, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-man-bought-100-generators-to-help-the-bahamas-theyre-being-delivered-by-boat/ar-AAGOrXv?ocid=HPCOMMDHP15
