St. Croix Hurricane Maria Fund

Donation protected
Hi My name is Sydney Jones I am from St. Croix USVI and I am working with a network of groups through out the united states but mainly in florida, and directly with Paradise Freight to get supplies to the people of the USVI.  We are not only aiming to help lead donations of supplies in the right direction but also allow people who may not have access to the general population donations to recieve necessary items through friends and families by assisting with shipping to a specific individual.

Over the last few weeks the USVI has taken quite a hit, St. Croix was spared the worst with Irma and in turn the citizens of St. Croix stepped up to the plate and came to the rescue for their sister islands... unfortunately St Croix was severely damaged in the next hurricane which was Maria a category 5.  The island is devastated and  many are with out homes and supplies. 

Here is what we are doing:

-We have several People from St Croix that are flying supplies home to the Usvi from Florida and other states ( We are each planning to fly to STT and be picked up by boat.  As of right now we are set to fly on Monday with 3 generatiors and roughly 600lbs of supplies.)

-We have set up an Amazon Wishlist  that will automatically be shipped to our shipping center and locally collected items that will be send to the general population in St. Croix.  These Items are being sent to the Relief Stx group who already has a distribution process set up on island.

- We are helping Families and friends ship to individuals by doing a bulk shipment from Miami to St Croix.  This allows people to ensure that their loved ones will recieve the correct supplies that they specifically need. We really want to make sure that specific people such as elderly, diabetic, people without cars or that have specific allergies, and people with large families are able to get the supplies they need to the individual directly.  I will be responisble for ensuring that the funds from this account go towards the shippments to St. Croix USVI.

The funds from this account will be used to :

-Pay for transport of the supplies from miami to St Croix via Paradise Freight to individuals from their friends and families

- This fund will also help individuals send essential items like generators, medical supplies, and chainsaws which are harder to send on a private plane through Paradise Freight. 


We will be documenting via Facebook live, photos and YouTube with updates on our mission follow St croix hurricane Maria friends and family- relief On Facebook!
