I urgently need a water tank for my family as summer approaches. We do not have a water tank to store water, which makes our daily struggle even harder. Any support or share would mean so much to us. 🙏💔

Day 3 of pleading for help. No donations. No relief. 💔
My pregnant wife is severely malnourished, and our unborn baby is at risk.
We still need $400 for urgent treatment.
Please don't scroll past us. 🙏

She was known as the "Queen of Numbers" because she ran a highly successful numbers lottery business in New York City's Harlem neighborhood.
Born in the French Caribbean (most sources point to either Guadeloupe or Martinique), St. Clair immigrated to North America and eventually many Black people out of mainstream banking and investment opportunities, the numbers and employment in the Black community. St. Clair built an empire that employed dozens of people and generated enormous wealth. settled in Harlem. At a time when racism shut.
What made her remarkable was not just her wealth, but her willingness to fight back against powerful enemies. She openly exposed police corruption, testified against corrupt officers, and used Black newspapers to educate Harlem residents about their legal rights. Her testimony helped lead to disciplinary action against numerous police officers.
She also became famous for resisting the notorious gangster Dutch Schutz when he tried to take control of Harlem's gambling operations. While many operators gave in, St. Clair publicly challenged him and encouraged Harlem residents to support Black-owned businesses and numbers operators. Their conflict became legendary in Harlem history.
