Rescue & Relief From Irma

Donation protected
Please help us, help them rebuild their lives. It's going to be a long process. But we need to be strong for them.
After desperately searching for our beloved aunt and 2 kids, we were so relieved to have finally found them. It took us 6 days after the hurricane passed to get in contact, through many media outlets, and the embassy as well as utilizing Facebook and message boards. Incredible what the power of technology can do in times of desasters to bring people together.

After finding my aunt, and 2 cousins and briefly chatting with them, which was difficult, being that communication is still scrippled and there is no electricity and water on the island of Tortola. We were heart broken to discover they are living in a shelter, due to their roof being blown off the house and all their personal items being damaged from the rain. our plan is to evacuate her off the island. She will most likely stay with my mom in Pennsylvania. We are trying to raise some funds, to assist her with recovering her items she lost, such as clothing and bed etc. The funds will mostly go towards rebuilding her roof, then thereafter replacing necessities such as clothing, bed, furniture etc. Our family are assisting with evacuation and flight arrangements, however as we all know the financial burden it can put on one self expecially when you have your own family and daily expense to take care of. 

Please note your are not obligated to donate, we appreciate any help we get to assist them with rebuilding their lives. its the thought which counts not the amount.  We would of course be matching your donation to assist them with the recovery process.
