Rebuild Love City, St. John, USVI
We are Love City Sailors. We live and operate a small charter company (Prince Charters) in St. John, USVI. Recently, St. John, (Love City) was devastated by the largest hurricane (Irma) in recorded history of the Caribbean. If that wasn't enough, a second Category 5 hurricane (Maria) exacerbated the devastation a week and a half later.
We need your help! No donation is too small. If you are unable to donate, please continue to share this campaign on social media. The more people involved, the greater our aid will be.
We sailed our home (also, our business) to Grenada, historically a safe zone from hurricanes, before the storms began impacting the islands and will return in October. When we return, we will fill our 38' sailboat with up to 2 tons of relief supplies for our island. This includes hygiene kits (designed to aid 2ppl & cost $20 to produce), tools, lights and fresh drinking water, provided by our desalination system.
The recent arrival of Hurricane Maria greatly affected the supply lines from Puerto Rico and St. Croix. We will be able to source our supplies directly from Grenada.
Join our efforts to help the people of Love City rebuild and make St. John great again!
