Hurricane Irma Relief for Shayne

Donation protected
As many people know, my cousin Shayne and her boyfriend Jim lost EVERYTHING when Hurricane Irma destroyed their home in St. Thomas. After evacuating to San Juan, Maria then hit and caused massive devastation in Puerto Rico. Shayne and Jim were at a hotel and were ok, but they spent all of their money to stay afloat in San Juan and eventually get back to the States. They are currently at Jim's mom's in Virginia, but they need our help. 

Shayne desperately needs anti-seizure medication. She can get that, but because of massive infrastructure and paperwork problems, she cannot access any of her doctors of Medicaid offices in St. Thomas. Let's help them out. The money from this campaign will be used to help her cover the out of pocket medical costs she has incurred. She's unable to get a lot of the paperwork she needs from her doctors in STT (because their offices were destroyed) so it will take a while until her benefits are process. Medication is expensive. 

Calling all friends, family, and anyone else to help support to get them cash to begin the next step. Supplies, prescription, pants (heck it's about to be winter in Virginia and it gets cold), etc. They could use anything as they figure out their long term plan. 

Once you donate, I will transfer these funds directly to my account then transfer to Jim's checking account based out of a Virginia bank. 

If you cannot donate here, Visa gift cards are also a great option. Email me to get details on how to do that. Thank you friends!
