Default Asking for assistance

This is a purely personal post but I'm asking for some assistance. My mom lives on Saint Maarten as a teacher and we've all seen the near 95% destruction of everything on the island from Hurricane Irma this past week. The last direct communication I had with her was around 0545 the morning of Irma hitting. Since then I have not heard anything from her. I did receive two calls from the hotel corporation where her condo is saying she was fine and the second call was to let me know she was on a military evacuation flight to San Juan. That was Saturday afternoon around 1630. Since then absolutely nothing. Now we've found out approximately 1000 Canadians are stranded at the Saint Maarten airport and being turned away from every flight out because our government hasn't done a thing. We have no idea if she is in San Juan or still stuck on Saint Maarten. I'm asking for MLU members to start putting pressure on our federal government to send planes and bring people home. I'm so disgusted right now with Canada.

Thank you for reading and doing anything to help.
Jordan.
