As disastrous hurricane season ends, US Virgin Islands remain in need

There was 17 named storms, 10 classified as hurricanes, which costed more than $475 billion in damage.

Like many other Hurricane-ravaged areas, photos and video show the slow recovery in the United States Virgin Islands.

He says the islands are not getting the necessary help.

"We feel like we have been forgotten," Coscia said. "FEMA stopped delivering supplies long ago."

Coscia and others believe the Virgin Islands are getting lost in the shadow of the devastation in Puerto Rico, another United States Territory that is also struggling to recover.

Jennifer Koralov and her husband Ryan lived in the Virgin Islands for six years.

They now own Neuse River Brewing Company in Raleigh.

"People still remember this is an American territory," Ryan Kolarov said. "This is a place that's still struggling."

Many of the relief supplies currently getting to the Virgin Islands are through families, nonprofits and grassroots efforts.

"It was amazing to see the amount of community come out and help with us." Jennifer Kolarov said. "We knew we had to do something."

The Kolarovs are selling t-shirts and bumper stickers to benefit the Virgin Islands.

Coscia's nonprofit, Perfect Heart also continues to do its part.

"Everyday, I'm hearing about a different hardship, a new hardship that's still happening," Coscia said.

Power has now been restored to almost 50 percent of the Virgin Islands. The much needed tourism industry is slowly coming back.

St. Thomas and St. Croix are once again ports of call for many Cruise Ships, but many residential homes are still not livable.
