Thanks for the info Dolores. My 10 year old daughter has organized a drive at her school. Now we're trying to find a local shipper willing to send it over there. If anybody has some info to share please let me know.

Thanks :)

Just want to add that if you would like to donate food, medicine, etc. you can do so on the corner of 211th and Broadway in Manhattan. I was there today and yesterday. I would say if you would like to donate something to buy, I never saw any mosquiteros...I'm forgetting what they are called in english...fly nets? anyway, I know those are hard to find in NY, but just letting you know my observation. Flashlights are also very important, can openers, MEDICINE, blankets, etc.

The solidarity there is incredible...they are there all hours of the day. It's very important to have volunteers to clear it up bc it's all over the sidewalks and we're trying to get rid of everything incase it rains. According to some forecasts, it may rain here on tuesday...many things can get destroyed as a result and the boxes will be useless.

Pleas for help were non-stop on some of the Spanish radio stations here in NYC the past couple of days.Driving home from my office yesterday there was one guy who was rattling off numbers (Homeless, etc.) so fast that as I tried to translate in my head while driving I almost became a victim-with the car in front of me.

Thanks! I guess I should mention that I am in South Carolina....LOL....if I have to take it to MIami then that is what I will do. My daughter is working so hard on this that I want to help her any way possible.

Well at least you're in the US, I thought after I posted that last night that you might have been in Europe or UK..............! Seriously, the other thing you could do would be to contact Dominican Embassy in US & see if they are using Consulates as collection points. There might be one near you.

You might just find it cheaper to get a freight company to deliver it for you. Unless you have a pickup or a trailer the gas and the cost of a Uhaul will set you back more than US300. BTW, I'm from Charleston.
