Beyond the glitz and glamour of St Barths are the hard working people who open up their beautiful island for the tourists that flock there for peace and privacy. These people don't own yachts or million dollar homes. They work long hours to make others happy.

Our dear family friends, Olivier Genet and David De Oliviera, and their beloved bulldog Igor, have been devastated by Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean. They were rescued by neighbors during the eye of the storm when their home collapsed. They are awaiting help from their government for food and water. They own a small shop in Gustavia that relies on the tourists for income.

Without those tourists, which they will now not have, they have no income.

We will help them as much as we can. If you know these two gentlemen , or have heard us speak of them, you know that they are true GENTLEmen. Our hearts are broken for them and wish we could do more. If you find it in your hearts, even a small amount to help them rebuild their lives, would be greatly appreciated.
