On September 1, the eye of Hurricane Dorian began to cast on Abaco Island. It’s sustained winds made the hurricane the strongest on record to hit the Bahamas. On September 2, the eye of Dorian moved over to the eastern end of Grand Bahama Island, drifting across the island. Hurricane Dorian's death toll in the Bahamas climbed to 50 on Monday as 1,300 others remain unaccounted for.

The Bahamas is home to approximately 30,000 American residents. In addition, there are about 110 U.S.-related businesses in The Bahamas and, in 2005, 87% of the 5 million tourists visiting The Bahamas were American. The United States and The Bahamas also actively cooperate on law enforcement, civil aviation, marine research, meteorology, and agricultural issues. The U.S. Navy operates an underwater research facility on Andros Island.

Despite the good standing relationship between the Bahamas and the United States, the US government issued a statement saying that there will be no Temporary Protected Status for people from the Bahamas whose islands were devastated by Dorian.

Both sides of the aisle have opinions on the matter-- which is typical in today’s world. It’s common to go on Instagram or Twitter, and see political rants from all sides. What isn’t an everyday occurrence-- and not easy-- is putting money where your heart is. That is what Klay Thompson decided to do for Friday the 13th.

The Thompson Family Foundation is raising money for relief efforts in the island nation, he announced in an Instagram post Friday. Dorian devastated the northern islands -- killing over 40 people and leaving over a thousand more missing. The organization will be hosting their second annual golf tournament and announced, via Instagram, that 100% of the proceeds will be going to relief efforts throughout the Bahamas.

Thompson took to Instagram to share his foundation's plans and his thoughts on the matter.
