Help the Villanueva family after Hurricane Fiona

Hola amigues y familia <3

As many of you know, I have been working with the Villanueva-Rodriguez family for the past couple of years in Puerto Rico on a film called Matininó. The film is a hybrid documentary-sci fi film that shows the family's courage, togetherness and strength after an experience with domestic violence.

A few days ago, Hurricane Fiona struck Puerto Rico and severely damaged two of our participants in the film's homes after over 4 feet of water flooded the neighborhood (see house above).

Over the next few weeks, they will have to move all of their furniture out to see if anything is salvageable and deep clean every nook of their homes to try and prevent mold from growing where the water seeped in. Mind you that just five years ago, they had to do ALL of this with Hurricane Maria where they lost almost everything they owned.

These are homes that the family has poured a tremendous amount of love and care into. It's where they invited our small film crew countless times to share meals and stories...it's where they have made us all feel so welcome and loved.

The government in Puerto Rico did nothing to help them with Maria and we know we can't count on them to help this time either. So please join me in helping show the Villanueva-Rodriguez family the same love they've showed us throughout the filmmaking process by donating whatever you can to help them rebuild...again.

Gracias por tu apoyo...¡Adelante!
