Extraction Point

Dear Family and Friends,

We are finally homeward bound.

After days of trying to keep constantly updated with hourly information, considering our best options while we waited for our return home, and seeing the direct impact on individuals and families from this incredible catastrophe... we have been informed that we will likely be evacuated from Les Cayes tomorrow.

We don't know how long it will take us to reach home, but we have been assured that we will be escorted by professionals each step of the way, and kept as secure and safe as possible.

In the meantime, while cell phones have been getting a tad better (I had service for 5 hours in the afternoon), we have been facing a forthcoming blackout at our current (and perhaps final) location in Les Cayes... so we were going to have to move tomorrow anyway.

Since we don't know whether our phone will operate or whether we will have email after about 10AM EST tomorrow, please be patient with any further delays in status updates.

Again, thank you for all the love and support.
Yours,
Ryan and Jess
