HELP my Family regain their lives

Donation protected

As all of you are aware, Hurricane Maria devastated and destroyed Puerto Rico on September 20th 2017. This Hurricane also took my family's home leaving my ill mother, my elderly grandparents, my disabled Aunt Sara, and brother Hector displaced. I waited 11 days to hear my mother's voice only to find out that their home of almost 30 years had been totally destroyed. While seeking shelter in the lower level of their home, they were traumatized as they heard the violent storms and winds completely uplift their roof and shatter their windows. For 26 hours through the storm, my family feared for their lives as my brother Hector moved my elderly grandparents, my mother, and my aunt from room to room for a safer location. When the storm finally ended, they were thankful for their survival and lives; however, they were only left with the clothes on their back and distraught. This Hurricane caused major destruction to the entire home and all of their belongings. Fortunately, they are all temporarily staying at an aunt's house nearby but have to start over. I humbly ask for your assistance. With each donation, you will be helping my family with the purchase of clothes, food, water, medicine, blankets, pillows, fans, batteries, a generator and basic necessities to begin again. Since my family does not have any power or access to internet, I will be withdrawing on their behalf as the daughter of Judith and deposit into an account specifically setup for them, then transfer directly to my mom's account in Puerto Rico.  My mother is the main caretaker and will ensure they all get what they need.  Any donation is greatly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you and God bless each one of you.
