We have all enjoyed many happy times on SXM and have made many friends among the locals. Many of us would like to "pay back" for those good times and lend support to our favorite island. Has a list been compiled of reputable charities which will provide aid directly to the people of Sint Maarten/St. Martin?

Once we find a list of organizations then we will let people know. At this point we do not have that list and it is possible that some of the organizations that were on the island may have been destroyed. So it is hurry up and wait.

Eric and all others interested, there are a number of fundraising efforts already launched on GoFundMe where money is being raised to help the people of the island. GoFundMe has it's own verification process to ensure that these campaigns are legit.

Please visit the GoFundMe site, see all the campaigns, including one to help the staff of the Summit, pick the campaign that is most meaningful to you and give generously to it. The people of the island need your help badly at this time.

Thank you.
