Wanting to donate to the relief fund for St Martin. Does anyone know if Sint Maarten.com is a legitimate place to donate. Their website says donate to Sint Maarten- St Martin Relief Fund? Or does anyone know of other places that are legitimate where you can donate?


I know there is always concern with regard to donations being used in the manner intended.

Two that I've personally donated to are Samaritans Purse and a few posts further along on this forum, there is a heading for DONATIONS SHOP AND DROP. This is being run by Jeannie Gee who, prior to Irma, ran a very successful grocery stocking service on the island.

Sadly, for now, she has lost her business like so many others but is trying to give back to the island in her own way. She has organized a grocery voucher program in conjunction with the Grand Marche and a few other islanders using every cent of donations given for this program to assist those in need with grocery store vouchers.

I have used Jeannie's business ever since she started it and I know any monies collected will be used solely and totally for the purposes it was intended. IMHO, her integrity is absolutely beyond question. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
