Update:  We have received a private donation of more than $600 CAD from an anonymous donor towards the #HurricaneMatthew disaster relief fund.  Therefore, we have raised almost $1,000 to help the victims of the hurricane.  The money was sent privately to me and will not show in the total on the crowdfunding platform.

Ask yourself the question:  why is it that the poorest people in the world always suffer the ravages of nature at her worst? The people of eastern Cuba are today in this situation because of the devastation left by Hurricane Matthew.

There are campaigns to help raise funds for the other victims in Haiti and elsewhere.  This campaign is for those in eastern Cuba. #baracoa

I'm asking you to help me to raise funds for the people in eastern Cuba who have suffered the devastation of Hurricane Matthew. #food #clothes #water #firstaid

The towns of Baracoa, Maisi, San Antonio del Sur and Imias were particularly hard hit.  Thousands of homes have been destroyed.

I’m asking our followers and all of your followers to help raise funds to send to eastern Cuba.

I have chosen to use the Canadian organization Fundrazer.com for fundraising so there are no problems with transferring the money to Cuba.  If you are American, Canadian, British, Spanish, French, citizen of the world, you can help.  Can you spare the cost of your morning Starbucks coffee?  Let's see what we can do together.

Let's reach out and help the people of eastern Cuba. #humanity

The funds collected by me will be given to the official Hurricane Damage Restoration fund at the Banco Financiero Internacional S.A. (BFI) in Havana.
