To the tourists who regularly visit Grand Cayman on vacation:
As the pandemic continues to spread, how about those of us who frequent this beautiful island think about ways we can help Caymanians as they face not only the virus but the economic disaster caused by lack of tourism?
If we can afford to visit Grand Cayman, we can probably afford to help. My prayer is that many of us will pitch in with economic help for an island facing catastrophic consequences. I’d hope that there is a coordinated relief effort underway, and if so, is there a way the newspaper could get that information out to us so we can respond in a generous way?
If tourists need a selfish reason to do this, think about this: If we don’t help financially right now, there is a strong possibility the Grand Cayman we visit in the years to come may not be as nice as it has been in the past. But I pray that our motives rise above that selfish mentality and we generously give back to a place that has been so kind and giving to us.
We have been going to Grand Cayman for several years and we love the island and we especially love the locals. Please join in our effort to give back.
