A Toronto family is reaching out for help after being left stranded on a small island off Turks and Caicos. Scholl says the family is now at the Coast Guard base on a small island off the coast of Turks and Caicos and needs help to return to Canada, which is why she started the fundraiser. While it's unclear where the family could be, small islands near Turks and Caicos include Abrahams Bay and Little Inagua Island. There are also the Turks and Caicos islands, including Yankee Town, Cockburn Town, Balfour Town, and Little Ambergris Cay, which are not connected to the mainland. In February, a shark attack in Turks and Caicos "instantly amputated" a Canadian woman.
