Disaster Relief Funding
The people of the Caribbean and Mexico need our help. The Caribbean has been ravaged by two major hurricanes in less than two weeks, barely enough time to prepare and get help from the first one. On St. Thomas, over 200 people are living in shelters and depend on the help from others to survive. They can't just book a flight or hop on a boat to leave. Transportation is nil right now and before the first hurricane hit, flights were going for $6000! The Virgin Islands, just like the other islands in the Caribbean, depend on tourism for income, and without that they have nothing.
In less than one month, Mexico had been hit by two hurricanes and two major earthquakes. Many lives were lost, and countless others are left homeless with only the clothes on their backs. Insurance isn't the same as in the US. Many people don't have it and won't receive any money for the items they lost. Mexico is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people who have gone through a lot these past few years.
The money we raise will help give comfort and necessary supplies to help get these people back on their feet. Every little bit counts! It may seem like a lot of money to raise, but there are literally millions who need help. We are trying to raise money for the following items: noodles, rice, beans, canned fruits & veggies, canned meats, dried foods, paper goods, tinfoil, bleach, clean up kits, drinking water, batteries of all sizes, personal hygiene kits, feminine products, school supplies, first aid kits, diapers, bug spray, sunblock, infant formula, flashlights, tire patch kits, tarps, mosquito nets, bug swatters/zappers, toys, shoes.
We cannot do it alone. Please help!
