For the last several weeks Seafarers’ House has proudly taken our mission to hotels around Fort Lauderdale and Miami to support marooned seafarers. (See the full story here) As part of their care team, we’re providing pastoral care, toiletries, vitamins and personal care items. Sometimes we bring treats like coconut water, while other times our “goodies” are more mundane like laundry detergent. Although caring for seafarers looks different today, the message is the same. You are not alone. We care about you. We are here for you.
The first seafarer we connected with at the hotels, Richard, shared some words with us this weekend that we wanted to pass along to you!
