St Maarten - Hurricane Irma Relief

St. Maarten, my home, has been devastated by hurricane Irma. By the estimates shared on the news and by people on the ground, 90-95% of the island is in complete ruin.

My name is Leslie Samuel. I'm from St. Maarten, but live in Michigan.

As I stood by and watched the news coverage of how terrible it has gotten, I've decided that I can't just stand by.


Instead, I want to do something. All of the funds raised by this campaign will go towards helping individuals and families who have been affected by hurricane Irma.


If you're looking for a way to help people directly, please consider donating.

Also, if you're not able to donate, please share this on social media like crazy. Every share counts.


I will be working with people on St. Maarten and as we figure out what the needs are, I will use this page to update you about the people your money is helping.

Thank you for considering donating. The people of St. Maarten will be trying to recover for years to come, but every little bit helps.
