Citrusgirl21 said: So I pay to ship it to Miami & then pay to ship it to SXM? Is that correct? I've read on another forum that the recipient must go pick it up and that it must be day of arrival as there are no storage facilities on SXM.

Yes I have I launched it yesterday ... as many of you know I am the owner of shopndrop grocery... I used my website that I had developed for shopndrop st Bart's and started this program. I wanted it to be about grocery so basically you are donating for grocery vouchers and I will be working with a local team and grand marche to get these vouchers to the local community... 100% of your donation is directly applied to purchase the vouchers for distribution and I will charge a 5% transaction fee to process your credit card. They can go and buy what they need based on their families personal needs. I am doing this because , it is an island I call my second home and I need to use the resources I have to do what I can.So your participation in this program is tremendously helpful. Some from TTOL have already donated. 100% transparency in the program and donors will be fully involved and informed on all activities. Please see the the Facebook post For all those who were interested the Grocery Voucher Donation Program the site is live now. The website is www.shopndropgroceryirmaassist.comThe details of the program is online under Program Info and FAQ Lucinda Frye and Dr Nicole Erna Mae Francis Cotton (Victorious Living Foundation) a lady I have known for many years will assist me in this endeavor. The goal is to ensure the families that need support sign up to receive the donation and Lucinda and Nicole will assist me with the distribution of the vouchers. Thank you for your support. Please pass the link on to both the families that need the support and the individuals that want to donate so they are informed of this program. www.shopndropgroceryirmaassist.com

In case Jeannie doesn't see this right away, you can donate in the name of a friend there as long as they sign up with Jeannie, too. At least, that's how I understand it.
And as a thought, instead of donating in multiples of a hundred, you can do so in fifty dollar increments which might possibly go further if the need is there, and I suspect it will be.
I think Jeannie is doing a great thing for the people of the island and we should remember, she, too, has lost her livelihood, at least for the time being.
SXM will be back, stronger and more resilient, for sure! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
