Hurricaine relief...Isla de la Juventud

[rumrunner]

We will be loading a 40 ft container of Hurricane relief supplies for Isla de la Juventud on Saturday Sept 13.

We have already secured substantial quantities of clothing and footwear, some mattresses and other items. we will be looking to round up, kitchen wares, and utensils, household items, as well as linens, pillows, towels and personal care products ( i.e.: soap, shampoo, toothpaste and brushes); tools for cleaning up (rakes shovels etc) as well as hammers, crow bars, saws, trowels, nails , drills and various supplies. We are awaiting direction on the kinds of construction materials that are required, and will assist there to a limited extent. The tools, linens and construction materials that we do not receive, we will purchase. Any and all monetary donations received will go to purchase needed materials, and the foundation will pay the ground transportation and shipping costs.
We have already rerouted a quantity of clothing and footwear from our last container which is in transit to Havana, to the victims on the island. The assistance is needed now, and any donations need to be made immediately if we are to assist these unfortunate people when they need it most.

If you wish to make a donation please send it ASAP to
