I rarely post images of myself, but, today is an exception as I have an important message to share with you. Vega urgently needs your help. For over 20 years, our beloved 130-year-old wooden sailing vessel has braved oceans and storms delivering donated medical and educational supplies to some of the world’s most remote island communities.
Meggi and I volunteered Vega and ourselves—sourcing and delivering nearly 300 tons of life-changing supplies to forgotten health workers, midwives, and teachers on those islands. .
Now, Vega faces a critical crossroad. After last year’s major refit and my recent surgeries, our funds are sorely depleted. Yet, we still need about $24,800 to repair sails and rigging, cover fuel, meet basic running costs, and an essential medical procedure.
By supporting Vega’s mission, you become part of a living working piece of maritime history helping forgotten people on remote island communities to survive and prosper. Please visit our official website to learn more about how you can help: your help will be most sincerely appreciated. https://vega1892.com/support-vega/
Please, help us by sharing this post with your friends. We can’t save the whole world—but together, we can make one small part of it a little bit better.
