Hurricane Irma Resources

Many in our Gypsy Nurse community have asked about how they can help victims of Hurricane Irma, not only in Florida but in the surrounding islands and in the Caribbean.  The Gypsy Nurse Team has compiled a list of resources, volunteer sites and donation funds in which our community can help.  This list is not complete and we are researching and refining daily, but we hope this helps
