Sint Maarten relief fund.

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?

do you have a link? personally, I've never heard of them.

I had this on my favorites at work. Just looked it up and it is St-Maarten.com

Found it: https://www.st-maarten.com/

I've never seen this site before, but I am suspicious.
I may be totally off base on this.

Give this 24 hours, see what others have to say about this site, they may know more, for I really don't know.

Discounts on car rentals and activities for LIFE?? Think about it.

$ 30.00 [ Certificate of Support ]
$ 60.00 [ 20% discount on activities/rental cars for 1 stay
$ 100.00 [ 20% discount on activities/rental cars for life ]

so if I contribute $500 do I get a 100% discount on activities/rental cars for LIFE?

Well on to the second part of the post! Does anyone know where a good place is to 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="" />

As Pat said, I can also vouch for https://www.shopndropgrocerystbarts.com/

Jeannie is matching up donated grocery vouchers with either families or organizations YOU designate (I sent mine to the I CAN FOUNDATION HOME) or if undesignated they will go to families in need as identified by a team of respected, local ladies who have reached out to a variety of LOCAL groups, churches, etc. to identify potential recipients or you could also designate that your voucher go to the school breakfast program.
