Restoration after the storm

Donation protected
Many of you already know that my family was hugely impacted by the most recent hurricane in Puerto Rico. They survived a very traumatic flood after the storm, waters rising as high as their chest. My grandparents are 74 and 80 and have endured the toughest few days they’ve ever experienced. Once rescued, they were in wet clothes for days and barely slept. From the shelter, they were both taken to the hospital. We are happy they are alive, that is the most important thing and we are grateful. When it was safe enough to go home to assess the damages, which were expected, they found that sadly, while their home is structurally in tact, all of their belongings within the home will have to be replaced. This may include their car. They both have multiple medical issues, and have not slept in 4 nights. Our family has decided they must leave Puerto Rico as soon as we can get a flight out. They are a family of four, my grandparents and brothers. They lost most of their belongings. We want to fly them into Florida to stay with family until we can restore what they lost in the storm. Many families lost more, some lost less. All need help. We do not want to take from others that are in need but if you are looking for a family to help, and you are led to donate to my family, it will be a blessing we will greatly appreciate.
