Hurricane Dorian was the strongest storm to ever hit The Bahamas. Fierce winds knocked down thousands of buildings across Abaco, leaving most of the people living there homeless. Marsh Harbour was one of the worst-hit areas with no chance of rebuilding or repairing many of the homes. Aid groups are just now starting to get established. | USA TODAY

Hurricane Dorian made landfall in the northern Bahamas as the strongest storm on record and continued to devastate the islands for nearly 48 hours. In the aftermath, we received word from our friends on the ground that there was an immediate need for footwear to protect against the high risk of exposure to tetanus. We jumped at the opportunity to provide aid and delivered nearly 10,000 pairs of shoes to those in need on various islands. Discover how you can help with ongoing relief efforts. http
