If you're financially able, I am graciously asking that people support families affected by Hurricane Irma, on the island of St. Maarten.  Roofs have been blown off homes and the continuing rainfall is making it difficult for them to start to clean and rebuild.  Lots of families include small children, and because the entire island is devastated, they aren't able to return to their jobs to be able to provide for their families.  As a former resident of St. Maarten of 13 years, and experiencing Hurricane Luis in 1995, I understand some of the devastation and how difficult it can be in starting over again.  Any amount that you can provide will assist the families greatly!  Thank you.
