Hurricane Maria Rocked Puerto Rico. Help For My Family Is Needed!

in #donations7 years ago

As many of you are aware, Puerto Rico was directly hit by Hurricane Maria, a catagory 5 storm. It has completely devastated the island and the people there could really use our help! What some of you may not know is my wife's grandpa, Porfirio, and other extended family live in Puerto Rico and are dealing with this natural disaster the best they can.


On top of the storm her grandpa is dealing with many health issues and is not able to receive the proper care he needs at this time due to more demanding health needs on the island. The family has created this gofundme (link below) in order to help the people of Puerto Rico and our family that is still there toughing it out as the island rebuilds.

Financial assistance is the easiest and most effective way to contribute and help out. I am not one that asks for much, but if you are looking for good karma, a tax write off, you skipped church last week, you owe a good deed, or you simply want to help our family and the people of Puerto Rico out I ask that you please consider donating to this fund.

If you can't financially help out I ask that you share or Re-Steem this post so that others may find it and donate! My wife's aunt Lyn put the gofundme together and working for Delta was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time down there recently and saw first hand how badly the island was hit. She beautifully explains her experience in the gofundme...please read it. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!!
