As in --THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO - EVEN LOUDER THAN THE SOUNDS OF THE COQUI... PAYING-IT-FORWARD... These horrific experiences & stories continues to flow in non-stop - as in - endlessly - and, its that flowing by those still affected by Hurricane Maria  -- even after all we witness from THE ISLAND being wiped-out, as in,  the entire islands', as well as their valuable resources was hit hard, and yet the progress is slower than a snail crawling.  How could anyone ever survived without the essentials?  DECEASED... Well, many were pronounced dead even weeks later.  Just visualize, if the necessary provision were and still hard to reach those in need, imagine the decomposing bodies floating in unknown areas even harder to reach. If this sounds like a horror movie, its more like a true reality, and desperate times requires desperate measures & action. ESSENTIALS... Many still living in inhumane conditions; remote areas cannot even be reached still too provide them with the provisions necessary for survival. Although some may have water running through their faucets, keep in mind, its contaminated water. Dead bodies have passed by it, urine from rats, cows that have drown and horses, and the precious lives of those unable to swim, so they drown. Furthermore,  Even if the water are  boiled, the taste is horrible, as one related their experiences. WE CAN ALL BE PART OF THE SOLUTION... One person at a time, one PRECIOUS life at a time. HUMANITARIAN TRIP 4 DECEMBER... CAN YOU KINDLY  OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND CONTRIBUTE TO THIS DIRE NEED CAUSE SO I CAN PERSONALLY DELIVER THE ESSENTIALS ON YOUR BEHALF?   I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
