The British Red Cross has set up a special fund for this damage and will be flying in relief supplies (Cayman is a British Territory).

 

To donate, go here: http://www.redcross.org.uk/Campaign.asp?id=37857

 

I've donated 100 pounds. Come on CC'ers, show your support!

 

Also, this from the official Cayman Tourism site (http://www.caymanislands.ky/) :

 

CAYMAN ISLANDS IN NEED OF HUMANITARIAN AID

 

New York, New York, September 15, 2004 --The US Cayman Islands Office is asking friends of Cayman to intensify help with relief and recover efforts already underway in the islands.

 

"Caymanians are in the process of cleaning up, but we will not be able to do this ourselves. We need help with disaster clean up, recovery systems and rebuilding," stated Pilar Bush, Acting Director of Tourism. "There is no other way to say it - we need help!"

 

We ask anyone interested in helping to do so now. People can contribute by donating supplies, making contributions or volunteering. As of 1:00pm today, the country has created a dedicated email address so that people interested volunteering can send their information to ivanvolunteers@caymanislands.ky.

 

Yesterday the Cayman Islands announced the establishment of The Cayman Islands Hurricane Relief Fund - Account #621506296065 with JP Morgan Chase Manhattan Bank. The funds will be used to buy necessary relief/medical supplies, rebuilding materials and other items needed by the families left without homes. (Wiring instructions can be found at the end of this document.)
