I signed up this morning but haven’t received an email/match yet. Maybe it just takes awhile? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777810 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:29:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2777810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Absolutely. It's been a little disheartening because it just seems like nowhere is the "best" to donate. I loved seeing all her pictures/videos and actual accounts of what she's doing and where the money's going. I really respect her to be somebody that really is doing something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777807 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:23:49 +0000 hellobeeboston 2777807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is great - thanks for sharing!! </p> <p>Even if you don't want to pick a family there is a HUGE Amazon shopping list that its easy just to send whatever you can...</p> <p>@snowjewelz: YES. Just became aware of what she was doing for Puerto Rico! So great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777806 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:22:28 +0000 NorthStar 2777806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I was wondering the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777804 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:18:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2777804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know if anything similar exists for other affected areas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777803 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:16:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2777803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this; going to sign up. I also recently donated to Bethany Frankel's foundation. I started following her IG and she is on the grounds (<a href="http://www.bstrongdeliveringgood.org/bstrong/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bstrongdeliveringgood.org/bstrong/</a>). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777801 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:07:35 +0000 NorthStar 2777801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also posted this to my FB page and noted the National Do Something Nice day. Hopefully it will encourage others to participate as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777798 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:02:13 +0000 lawbee11 2777798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just signed up.

Just signed up. </p> <p>It is national Do Something Nice Day; so perfect timing! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777791 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 08:36:12 +0000 NorthStar 2777791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: yeah, it does. Thank you for posting this :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777786 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 08:25:07 +0000 littlebug 2777786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: It's not a "true" charity; it's something that was just started by a couple of volunteers who are from St. Thomas. So there's no way to really verify its legitimacy. But reviews on their facebook page are good, they are posting about specific needs, and respond quickly to posts on the page. I feel like if they were a shady group, they'd be shady on facebook, too? It feels legit, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777778 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 07:52:02 +0000 NorthStar 2777778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this! Is there any way to be sure that it's legit? I'm sure it is, but I'm always cautious. I could see something like this being a great idea for an alternative for Xmas presents. Instead of exchanging gifts with extended family, I might suggest using those funds to donate towards those who really need it. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777777 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 07:49:41 +0000 OurEastAndWest 2777777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is awesome! :heart: Thank you so very much for sharing! :happy: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adopt-a-usvi-family#post-2777776 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 07:47:28 +0000 littlebug 2777776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone posted this on Facebook so I looked into it and have adopted a family. You get matched with a family and then you ship a box of supplies to this resource center and they distribute it. Just thought, with our discussions yesterday of taking real action on things, some people might want to do something like this. <a href="http://www.AdoptAFamilyUSVI.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.AdoptAFamilyUSVI.com</a> </p>
