Film & Music Relief - Austin

08/16/2021

If anyone can see this post, the Film & Music Relief - Austin page has been breached (hacked) by unknown persons (likely an AI bot) for some time now. Do not give any money, goods, or gift cards to Film & Music Relief - Austin. God Bless those who are suffering due to the August 14, 2021 Earthquake in Haiti. This page will remain for the time being, until we can entirely recover it. Thank you, the real Anne Catherine Carr aka "Annie" who is much taller than my impersonator.

Here’s what I mean. I posted the video I made on this page to my personal page, and it was there. I went back to it, and it was gone - only a link to this page was there.

So I wrote a nice little message to the hacker saying that they are good, in a minute or so later the video came back.

Well guess what, I went back to my personal page, and the video was gone again. This time I took a picture! It ain’t there.

1:27PM IS CENTRAL 9-5-2019 HURRICANE DORIAN NORTH CAROLINA/VIRGINIA BORDER

110 MPH!!!

Near the coast; keep cellphones charged (use car to charge if need be)

Inflate air mattresses and pool toys and keep them inflated

If no air mattress or pool toys; Take empty plastic containers - such as for milk or water - empty them, seal them air tight, and tie them together. These become “Floaties” for children, pets, you, and your tools if still inside (remember to hold floatie in front of your chest if exhausted, or make sure you are “face up” if you fall asleep)

Put a crowbar, saw, and hammer in a bag on the highest counter or upstairs - keep it with you if your house starts to flood. Always “Go Up.”

Grab medications, hand write important numbers on paper, and put them all in a ziplock or plastic bag with your phone to keep dry - write all your names on the piece of paper, allergies, medical conditions, emergency contacts (both in and out of danger zone.) Consider a ziplock with piece of paper with all this information for every person in your family or group - helps if separated, or found incapacitated.

Fill gallon jugs or containers with fresh water and put them with the tools.

Keep going up, use the tools, break through Sheetrock, or use tools at seems of wood and pry.

gofundme FOR CROSSREACH LPC “Lucayan Presbyterian Church”

This is from our own KB who’s Dad is Pastor Ken Lane of Lucayan Presbyterian Church in Freeport Grand Bahamas.

KB is fielding questions for her father, where there are many. MLW and myself will be organizing the logistics for supplies donations.

KB has been presented with fund raisers now, and she is making sure the ones she is sharing are people that are part of her dad’s church - that it’s a legitimate fundraiser.

Go check it out.

I wish we could provide more information, but at the moment, like everyone else, the LPC on the mainland are still only able to see what’s on social media or the news. Where Pastor Ken seems to be the only known go between for communication, where he is in Freeport.

Please send positive thoughts, prayers, air hugs and positive alpha waves (if you believe in science) towards the Bahamas, and hope that Dorian stays far from the Eastern coastline.

KB will update us on what is needed when she can.

ORGANIZING TO HELP IN FREEPORT

Our Film Family Friend in Freeport Grand Bahama is Pastor Ken Lane of the Lucaya Presbyterian Church. Pastor Ken chose to stay behind instead of evacuating in order to be there for the community. The Pastor Kitty “Jasper” also stayed.

From what we’ve heard, miraculously, the Church and rectory is still standing, with a small leak to the roof. Pastor Ken and Church Kitty are fine.

As with the Haiti Earthquake, many of the NGO’s (Non Governmental Organizations) are ecumenical, with their feet already on the ground building communities.

Because Pastor Ken helped build houses in El Salvador with Habitat for Humanities, and he’s the dad of one of our own, we are moving forward to organize a specific needs supplies drive - construction, dry goods, clothing, bedding, medical needs - what Pastor Ken there on the ground will see as needed most.

We’ll let the waters reside, and begin organization as we find out more about the logistics there.

For now, I am going to post the Presbyterian Ministry “EPC’s” page requesting monetary donations for EMERGENCY HURRICANE DORIAN RELIEF.

Pastor Ken’s church has a sister church at MARSH HARBOR, ABACO - KIRK OF THE PINES, led by Gabe Swing. The church was hit with 180 mile an hour winds. So far they only know information from social media, where there is devastation. They have not heard yet from the leaders of the Abaco church.

The financial drive by EPC - where our people have been there to Lucaya to visit - is specifically to help EPC give emergency aid to the communities there in Abaco and Freeport. Please check out their site, and follow the links to the respective churches so you know where funds will go.

We will keep you posted.

EMERGENCY RELIEF Donations to the Emergency Relief Fund will assist EPC churches in disaster areas with identified needs. You can donate to EPC emergency relief by using: • The secure form below. • Check—put “EPC Emergency Relief (016)” on the memo line, and send to: Evangelical Presbyteri...

7:37PM US CENTRAL 9-3-2019. HURRICANE DORIAN

Our film family’s family member was just able to get a text through that they are well and thank you for the prayers.

There are internet issues across the country, likely due to high internet traffic because of the storm.

Dorian is now a Category 2.
