Help Victims of Sandy

 Realize that many have already contributed to The Red Cross and other charitable organizations to help those affected by Sandy.

That said, was wondering what you think of St. John's requesting that students and alumni contribute a minimum of $5 to a special fund to help those affected particularly in Queens, Brooklyn and S.I. where the university has very strong roots.

It's the Vincentian mission in action and these are our friends, family and fellow members, in some way, shape or for, of the St. John's family.

Would think the technology to do it on-line exists already (just need to customize "The We Need A Dollar" app)

I think it's a great idea.
They obviously have the mailing addresses, phone numbers, and emails from various fundraising lists we're all on. I think you'd get a very positive response from the SJU Community.

WIth that said - I think you're also right that people are doing a variety of things already. To some degree I don't care if my donation is in the name of the Red Cross, a jewish-Y, or SJU. As long as it's getting put to use effectively that's what matters.

Continued wishes and prayers for everyone ...

 jsj, as always that is an incredibly generous idea. I am a proud sju grad and live on the east shore if si. I cant complain about the damage when you see some people literally have nothing left aside from a foundation. More important is that my family was safe. I was one of the few who had family up on the hill that wasnt affected. Even the smallest of donations for those families sju or not would help them. Keep up al the good work i read about on here. The testiments show your a great person. God bless. This site is such a great distraction and thank you all for that.

If anyone would like to consider a donation that will have a direct affect on some very local kids, 80 students from Xavier High School in Manhattan were displaced from their homes in Breezy point and other places devastated by the storm. The school, before a penny was raised, offered students free replacement books and uniforms, an offer to suspend tuition for any student whose family was financially hurt by the storm, and offers from dozens of families including the school PResident to house students and their families. It's an amazing school, led by an incredible administration, and every dollar collected will go directly to families in need. The school already has organized groups of students, faculty, alumni, families and concerned individuals to help clean debris in the Rockaways and went to Rockaway last weekend to offer human muscle.

 Beast, great move by Xavier . My alma mater Archbishop Molloy is setting up a fund as well as they have created a fund.


My house was damaged with over 4 feet of water, plus we lost our car in long beach ny thankfully I come from a large extended Irish catholic family that have been a tremendous help. My wife and two kids are staying with my in laws in Brooklyn and three of my mail cousins helped clean out a large amount of debris. Public schools in LB will not open till next week and we have no clue when our power will come on, or when we can brush our teeth. It will be a long road to recovery, I am am happy to hear my friend jersey shore Johnny is alive and well with minimal damage. I am confident long beach will rebuild and be stronger than ever. Looking forward to the upcoming Redmen season as a welcomed distraction.
