This is wonderful, and I am also going to forward to a film client who recently shot a
movie in Puerto Rico and has mounted a fund raising campaign for the local film crew
community. This is so practical and doable and I am grateful to be able to help in such a
particularly direct way. Thank you dear friends.

Hello All,
As many of you know Eri and I weathered Hurricane Irma on St. John USVI, and then spent a
week there in the aftermath. Irma’s winds devastated the island, and she was followed by
the rains of her sister Maria, which left St. John without many basic needs like food,
electricity, shelter, communication, and water. On the basis of the current news reports,
this may be the situation for months. And today we heard that the red cross will be
demobilizing.
Kathryn Blackbird and I are raising money to provide potable water for St. John
inhabitants. We are working with the St. John Community Foundation.
If any of you have anything left in the coffers after the wake of the hurricanes and the
earthquakes, please donate. Even a small donation will help.
Our goal is to raise enough money to purchase, ship, and distribute at least a pallet of
Lifestraw Community point-of-use water purifier units.

ABOUT LIFESTRAW PURIFIERS:

(

protection)

ABOUT ST JOHN
St John is a smaller USVI island. Because of it is more remote than other USVI islands,
it has been forgotten in the news and as a consequence it is not receiving as much
attention by the relief effort. Although many people think of the Virgin Islands as a
place of luxury vacations, most inhabitants are not rich vacationers. Many residents have
lost their both their homes and their jobs because residences and businesses were
demolished and tourists will not return for a very long while.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Stan and Kathy
