This organization is working on getting water and supplies to the island immediately, and they have a donation page that you can use. Please donate to them now if you can:

At this time we are still taking commitments for donations for a large relief shipment, and when we get enough we will get the supplies and arrange air or sea cargo delivery.
Cat Island took a direct hit from Hurricane Irene. We are working on bringing relief supplies to Cat Island via aircraft or boat. We need donations and volunteers to help. PS. My mother lives on the island and that's why I got the idea to do this.
