Story
Mark and Julie left NYC after 9/11 to start a new life in paradise, on the island of St John. I visited them many years ago, and it truly was paradise. They started a business (Property King) putting Mark's Cornell-honed botany skills to work, while Julie's business acumen ran the office. Now their home is destroyed. Let's do what we can to help our Brother get back on his feet.

7 years agoPi men I spoke with Lonski this morning. 90% of the structures on St John were damaged or destroyed. His landscaping business is imperiled because of this. The Lonskis are looking for a home to live in while they rebuild. Their house disintegrated while they were taking refuge inside of it. There is no mail service and no banking services. Electricity will be out for 6 to 8 months. Please give. From $5 to $500 every bit helps. Just seeing your name on the donor page will help them smile. Jason
