#GEM partner #BStrong Bethenny Frankel - I activate when I am passionate about something and believe I can make a significant impact. I have spent a significant period of my life in Florida and I have seen this state and the south overall weather the most treacherous of storms. This is a bad one and people will lose lives, homes, pets, dignity and will suffer a tremendous blow. Donations have started to come in and it will require a meaningful amount to help these communities rebuild. We have a Miami warehouse filled to aid in all aspects of a relief and recovery effort. This is a model I created atter Hurricane Maria so we would always be ready to load and distribute aid immediately. This aid is donated from our trusted loyal partners. We have also implemented the "crisis kit" model to be distributed to families and individuals so they have the basic essentials to survive the first phase of a disaster. I created the cash card model many disasters ago so we can provide families with the dignity to purchase what they need while infusing money back into their communities. 100% of your donations will go to the effort. No matter where you donate please do your research and understand exactly and precisely where every single penny goes. We have now seen hundreds of circumstances where big name orgs and celebrities raise money with no follow through, transparency, or proof that the end user has received these funds as you intend. Sadly, this space is littered with fraud as people are the most careless and chaotic during times of disaster. Thanks for your love and support. Thanks to Global Empowerment Mission for efficiently executing the most treacherous of relief efforts. THIS IS A CRISIS.
