My Puerto Rico Family Earthquake Relief

Donation protected
My name is juan Ortiz and If you know me I never ask for help from anyone, let alone make a go fund me. My family (mom,grandma and sister) back in GUANICA, PUERTO RICO needs your help. A 6.4 earthquake hit our home and it’s highly damaged. Due the more recent earthquakes and more aftershocks, the house has more damage than before. At this point we have lost the house. Due to its current condition it’s “unlivable”. That’s not the only earthquake that has occurred. Since December 28th 2019, there has been more than 1,000 earthquakes alone in the southern part of the island (USA today confirmed it). They have been ranging from 3.9 to 6.4. That’s not the only case. My family has been displaced due to the fact that they can’t come back and live in the same roof since the walls may collapse. On top of not having running water or electricity for god knows how long, things are falling apart physically and emotionally. Electricity is projected to return after 365 days due to the southern electrical power grid being extremely damaged due to so many earthquakes. The struggle to get gas from gas stations to even getting money out of an ATM is unbelievable. I’m keeping this short because I don’t want sympathy but your donation will mean so much and will be greatly appreciated. It will help my family stay on top of bills & buy basic necessities such as food and water and anything else they need during these hard times. If you know me personally I will forever be grateful for your help. When I’m done collecting all donations, I will withdraw the total full amount from my go fund me campaign and deposit it into my bank account and make a bank transaction transfer and send it to my family ASAP. Thank you once again everyone for your generosity! If you are from Nashville please spread the word. My family lived here for more than 20 years before they moved back recently. You’re helping one of your own!
