As many of you know, our family is from Puerto Rico and we have relatives that still live in Arecibo, just 2 hours west of San Juan. After experiencing not one, but two Category 5 Hurricanes, our beautiful town was left in an apocalyptic state. Hospitals are running LOW ON MEDICINE, there is NO FOOD OR WATER in the supermarkets, NO POWER, no direct lines of communication with relatives in the US, no fuel, its a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS!
Officials estimate that some people may not retrieve power for up to 4-6 months, and 80 percent of all agriculture is destroyed. This leaves hundreds of families, such as mine, without the basic needs for survival or means to rebuilt their lives. Puerto Rico needs our help NOW more than ever.
That’s why we have partnered with PALS SKY HOPE Disaster Relief Program. They were actually one of the first organizations on the ground, helping airlift patients out of Puerto Rico, delivering medical supplies directly to hospitals and supplies such as water filters, satellite phones, and generators to families in small towns, such as mine. They made the seemingly impossible happen and will work endlessly to provide help to every families even when Puerto Rico is no longer a headline story.
I know PALS will make the most out of every dollar donated to this fund. So please help us raise as much as we can, by donating, spreading the word, and partnering with us. 100% of donations go to the victims and all donations are tax-deductible
