Fundraiser underway for those in the U.S. Virgin Islands

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Earlier this week, we introduced you to a woman who worked as a publisher in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She temporarily relocated to Wilmington because of all the damage that remains from Hurricane Irma.

Now, there’s a way to help her and others like her.

Charlotte Atkins works at Morris Caribbean Publications , WWAY’s sister company.

A lot of people are still living in damaged homes, without power, and many without water. Our corporate office has established the Morris Hurricane Relief Fund, through the North Georgia Community Foundation.

Your tax-deductible donations will be used to provide things like tarps, clothing, bedding, and water. Eventually the goal is to provide generators and possibly portable solar solutions, because residents are expected to be without power for months to come.
