The resilience of all the St. Johnians who survived the storm is a wonder to behold, especially after seeing the video and images now coming in from the island. We love you, Stan, and so glad you and Eri are home safely.
Money to the foundation will go directly to help St. John recover and so more targeted than donations to the Red Cross. I think people are only now realizing how devastated USVI was in this storm, since it took days for even rescue organizations to get there. They’ll need every penny they can get. Thank you for the info, sweet Stanley! xoJayne From: Winedale-l <[email protected]> on behalf of Stan Kern <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 12:58 PM To: Jenny Jackson-Paton <[email protected]> Cc: Shakespeare at Winedale <[email protected]>, jerald head <[email protected]>, Shakespeare at Winedale 1970-2000 alums <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Winedale-l] Tonight Hello All, I have just returned from the tempest that was Irma. Eri Weinstein and I weathered Irma on St. John hunkered down in a laundry room in the dark for about eight hours. I was one of the fortunate, blessed, comfortable ones with a roof still over my head when the songs of the tree frog’s signaled the end of the storm. Their song’s belied the devastation. Thanks to the efforts of Kathy Blackbird and Craig Hurwitz, we were was finally able to leave St John by fishing boat to St. Croix after about a week. After experiencing and witnessing the devastation, I am compelled to help as much as I can from the safety of Austin, until I can get back to the Island. I am writing to ask for donations for those still left on the Island. If any of you have any money left to be donated after all of the donations I am sure you have given to Harvey’s victims, please make your donations the St John Community Foundation donate<http://www.thestjohnfoundation.org/donate> http://www.thestjohnfoundation.org/donate They have been working with St. John for years. Even a small amount will help someone to water, food, or bedding. Thank you. Love and Hugs. Kirsten “Stan” Kern [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
