Greeting Family and Friends,
I pray all is well. How do I begin this message? There has been so much devastation, lives and properties lost during these catastrophic events that have taken place in the past few weeks. Three category 5 hurricanes, and another one lingering behind it and the two earthquakes that hit Mexico. Even though I am from Jamaica, I am here as a representative for the island of Dominica. There is still no communication going in or coming out from this beautiful island which is known for its hot springs and rainforests. My co-worker Henrietta has been under a lot of stress because she has not been able to confirm if her family has survived. Can you imagine what she is experiencing? I am feeling her pain, because they are also my family and friends. In preparation to assist this island, we have started an emergency relief effort to support the population. I have attached a flyer with the items that we would like to ship to help with the recovery. We are accepting supply donations only, no monitory donations. Please review the information and choose whatever items your heart tells you to donate. This message is for the residents of the DMV, The District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. You will note that there is a drop-off location on the flier, but if you are unable to do the drop-off, we are willing to meet at a convenient location to make the pickup. If you are not in the DMV and would like to donate, you can ship the supplies to the address listed on the flier. We need all the assistance we can get.
Please continue to pray and pass this on to your family and friends.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Blessings
