Aid for the PEOPLE of the Caribbean
Donation protected
Last year we set up a Go-Fund Me page for a stray dog in Antigua which received overwhelming support.
We are now launching a new campaign but this time to send 'aid' to the people of the Caribbean who have lost everything in the two devastating hurricanes that have just annihilated many Islands.
We will personally be delivering the 'aid' ourselves, sailing from our current base in St Lucia, up to Martinique where we can buy the majority of things needed.
We are looking to take the very basics of human survival being Food in the form of dry goods ( non perishable) , Fuel, Baby Formula, Nappies, Tents, Tarps Batteries, Candles etc, etc, etc, etc anything we can to help.
Our first aid stop will be Dominica which was ravaged by ‘Maria’ - then we will reload in Guadeloupe and Antigua. Heading west across to Nevis and St Kitts - then up to the BVI and if supplies are available in USVI on to Puerto Rico if possible.
We will update you all on our progress as we did with 'Manji Dag' - updating photos and stories as we go - so you can see where your money actually is actually being spent.
We will be liaising with anyone who can send aid, not just money and will transport whatever we can, wherever we can.
The target is not a set target it is just a start to try get some much needed help up these people as quickly as possible and to the people that need it most !
Many other 'Cruisers' with boats will I imagine be doing a very similar thing once hurricane season is over, (we are risking it now because people need help now not in 2 months) these people are genuine people and all well known to each other, please help them achieve their goals also if they ask for help.
I hope your are as generous as you were with 'Lucky' and Thank you all for any help
