Help Barbuda

Donation protected
Please help Barbuda recover from Hurricane Irma.  It was the most powerful hurricane in over a century. After 18hrs of no news from the island we were starting to worry that they had been forgotten. My family, the Franks (sister and nieces) live there alongside 1600 other Barbudans.  It is the sister island to Antigua but very much left to it's own devices.  We started this fundraising page to buy a couple of satellite phones for Barbuda. If we can just help them to be able to communicate with the outside world in the future then that would be great.  We realised pretty soon that they would need other help as the pictures and stories started to come in.  As we are raising money in the UK we have to nominate a British bank account to receive the funds. Scarlett Bolton, my daughter is well known in Barbuda as she is always out there visiting her cousins and friends. She is taking every penny raised to representatives of the Barbuda Council to spend on restoring living conditions on the island and helping the people of Barbuda. Her travel expenses etc will NOT be taken from the fund. To learn more about Barbuda and it's people visit www.barbudaful.net
The money raised so far has exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful for your support. Any small amount would be gratefully received by the Barbudans.
