Hurricane Irma Relief For The Victims In The Keys
Hurricane Irma Relief For The Victims In The Keys
On September 16th Attorney Gabriel Jose Carrera along with Jim McCubbin, set out to gather and deliver much needed
supplies to the victims in the Keys of Hurricane Irma. They didn’t have basic supplies like running water and power,
subsequently leading to the loss of food and basic conditions to be able to sustain basic routines needed for life out on the
outer islands.
This was the 1st reach out to the community on FB in regards to Hurricane Irma Relief:
It was then recirculated by others in the community:
The response from the community on night one was outstanding, but they were not done yet:
They kept spreading the word and reaching out to everyone in the community for assistance.
A few of the Victims were there at the American Legion Post 180 (now homeless) helping out with the fundraising:
The word spread about the work Attorney Carrera ( Attorney That Rides) was doing and more people
got together to gather supplies to take down to the Florida Keys. Bars and patrons started gathering money
as well as donations.
With all the donations of water , food, clothes, and more, Attorney Carrera was able to fill up his Ambulance
in addition to his tow trailer. They then went out to purchase extra supplies with all the money raised.
They were able to get through the barriers and deliver the supplies to the distribution point at Marathon Key.
Although there was a great turnout and the supplies delivered were
well needed the fight is not over yet.
Attorney Gabriel Jose Carrera and others will be coming together
again this week to make another caravan run to deliver supplies to
the victims in the Keys.
They will be accepting donations at American Legion Post 180 from 10AM – 11PM
Make any checks for donation out to “American Legion Post 180”
Cash and supplies can be dropped off at American Legion Post 180
