Who you are and where you’re from: Paola Sanchez, living in San Antonio, Texas, originally from Carolina Puerto Rico.
Your relationship or contact to the parties you're raising funds for:
*UPDATE*- Jaime Vargas was able to finally return to his home in San Antonio, Texas after 2 weeks of being stranded in Puerto Rico. With the help from the donations, we were not only able to send 13 care packages to the island, but we were also able to book a flight with Jetblue and get Jaime State Side!*
Jaime Vargas is stuck in Puerto Rico with no food or water. Funds are being transferred to Paola Sanchez, so she can send funds to him and his family and friends to buy water and gasoline, food and supplies.
He left Sunday, Sept, 17th to attend his grandmothers funeral. After the funeral, Hurricane Maria hit the island and he was not able to return home.
He has no way of getting back because the Airport was destroyed during the storm. His family here in San Antonio, Texas are doing all they can to get him home safely and provide for him and our family and friends.
How the funds will be spent : Funds will be been spent buying solar power cell phone chargers, rechargeable fans, Life straws (so they can filter their water) and first aid kits. All purchased on Amazon Prime same day delivery to San Antonio Texas, and will be shipped through USPS to Puerto Rico.
Your withdrawal plan to get the funds from the campaign to the ultimate beneficiary/ies:
Paola Sanchez and Jaime Vargas are the ones to recieve funds and make sure all is spent on sending family care packages throught the USPS to PR, as well as covering Paola and Jaimes rent due to Jaime Vargas not being able to work for 2 weeks since he was trapped on the island.

Please donate what you can..and more importantly share this so that we can use these social media platforms to strengthen our communities during times of hardship & loss.
I am creating this Go Fund ME so anyone can donate what they can to get supplies to those listed ASAP.
In their time of need, Many Puerto Ricans donated what they had to their sister islands after Hurricane Irma struck the U.S. Virgin Islands & the British Virgin Islands.
Now Puerto Rico needs our help!
We strive to provide clear treasury and 100% communication with those both donating and recieving ends.
Due to the Fiscal Crisis in Puerto Rico, the PREPA [the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority] did not have the means to prepare for such a devistating event and project that the citizens may go up to 5 months or more without electricity.
Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory with more than 3.5 million american citizens. Hurricane Maria is the strongest hurricane to directly hit the island in 90 years.
My heart goes out to my family and friends in P.R.
