One Year Later: Hurricane Beryl Recovery One year ago, Hurricane Beryl tore through the Caribbean with unprecedented force, becoming the strongest June hurricane ever recorded. In its path, homes were leveled, families displaced, and entire communities left shattered.But from the very first moment, and every day since, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) has been there. This video offers a powerful look into the long road to recovery, one  paved with compassion, resilience, and action. From emergency aid drops and rebuilding homes, and providing ongoing support to the most vulnerable, GEM has remained boots-on-the-ground, not just for the crisis, but for the comeback.Because we don’t just respond to disasters, we walk with communities through every step of their healing and recovery. Watch the full journey of hope, strength, and transformation in this 1 year re-cap video. Happy to share that our GEM Carribbean branch led by @deikamorrison ⁩ was able to repair over 700 roofs. You can hear firsthand testimonials from Jamaicans that no one else ever came to help them in many areas.GEM’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to large-scale disasters like Hurricane Beryl is made possible by our powerful partnership model. These strategic alliances are the backbone of our mission, amplifying our impact and strengthening our reach when it matters most.A heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible partners and supporters who help make this work possible: @bethennyfrankel #bstrong @sflcaribbeanstrong @caribbeanstrong @marlonhill @mairoliver @aieshamusic @jakestreasurebeach @nhef_jm @thecliffjamaica @airservint @luisvelasquezq01 @luisvelasquezma @globalempowermentmissionlatam @bredstreasurebeach @sumfest_festival @janicelyttlefoundation @ncbfoundation @kevinlyttle @kayebentley #caribbeanconsularcorps IOM Jamaica, ODPEM, Chin’s Construction Ltd., YIPCTo support GEM’s continued work across the Caribbean, visit the link in our bio.#HurricaneBeryl #GEMMissions #CaribbeanStrong #DisasterRelief #LongTermRecovery #HumanitarianCrisis  #GlobalEmpowermentMission #BStrong #RebuildTogether #HopeInAction #OneYearLater #StrongerThanTheStorm
