Our thoughts and prayers are with the fishermen who lost their livelihoods this week in a senseless act of vandalism. On Friday, July 10, 2015 three fishing vessels were destroyed in a senseless act of vandalism. Two of the vessel owners will have great difficulty recouping from this tragic loss and may be on the brink of losing their businesses. Both men have been in the Rhode Island commercial fishing community for a very long time and have worked very hard for others in order to start their own dream of their own business. The Rhode Island Fishermen’s Alliance has started a Go Fund Me campaign. Maybe together we can help these two men keep their dreams alive and get back fishing. It doesn’t matter if its $1 or $100, every dollar counts. Thank you in advance for your kindness. |
