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.
