We created a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation
Business Name is
“Everyone Can Help Someone, Inc.”
Update Nov 27, 2017
We have a logo for our nonprofit. Check it out on our new nonprofit website here
UPDATE Nov 20, 2017:
We are moving our donation page to our nonprofit website, which will be dedicated to our Helping Project. This svIslandSpirit.com site needs to remain our travel blog and our sailing adventures. Because our project is growing, we formed a nonprofit corporation, opened a dedicated bank account and opened a business PayPal account. All donations have been moved to this new corporation and all future donations will be made to this new nonprofit. The PayPal button below now donates to the nonprofit corporation. The new website we are building will be at:
www.EveryoneCanHelpSomeone.com
This is how it all began
Since the 2107 hurricanes IRMA and MARIA have hit the Caribbean Islands so hard, Radeen and I have been looking for ways we can help. So, we have restructured our Island Spirit website into a full social media project where we will use Patreon to build a subscriber-based site. The funds raised from this model of Website, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Patreon will be donated to people in need who were affected by these hurricanes. As we cruise this 2017-2018 season, we will be photographing and blogging, as we have done since 2007, and we will be looking for families and businesses that we can help. The donated funds will then be spent to help these people. We are only two, but with the support of our followers, we all can make a difference together. Our Tagline is…
We Can’t Help Everyone, but Everyone Can Help Someone
Please see our 2-minute intro video
What is Patreon and How does this work?
Patreon is a website that helps content producers earn money for their blogging, publishing videos to YouTube and creating interesting content. The system is really an amazing idea and many of the large and popular vlog sites are using this system to earn a living. Our model is different. We are using the model of Blogging and YouTube and all the social media platforms along with Patreon to raise money TO HELP OTHERS. It is that simple. We will be using the money to buy necessary items to help those affected by the destructive hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico, USVI and BVIs.
Radeen and I have been blogging since 2007 and we have never charged for our content. It is and will always be free. We have shared our blog with many, and you have all told us how much you like our blog. So, enter Patreon, where we ask you to consider supporting our new project to HELP OTHERS.
As a patron, you can elect to donate $1, $2, $5, $10 each time we publish a blog or a video to YouTube. You can also protect yourself and set a limit to the amount you will contribute per month. For example, let’s say you become a $2 patron, and you set this to a maximum of $8 per month. When we publish any new content, we will receive $2 from you. We plan to publish each week, so the most you would give us is $8 each month. What if we publish more often than once a week? That is where your limit comes in. You will never be charged more than your monthly limit. This protects you and allows you to know exactly the amount you are contributing.
So, please consider becoming a patron of svIslandSpirit.com and together we all can help someone. Join us now….

LUCI Light 2.0 by MPowerd.com We just bought 30 LUCI LIGHTS to take back to Puerto Rico to give to people who have been without power since these two hurricanes hit. Now over 60 days. Imagine living without power in your home for 2 months or more! Last time we took 10 of these and people loved them. This time we take 30 because we filed as a nonprofit with Mpowerd.com and they gave us a discount to about $10 per light. A great help.
