Help Puerto Rico's Residents!
Donation protected
Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico two weeks ago, but the crisis grows stronger. While supplies have been sent, the infrastructure remains crippled and roads haven't been cleared, halting much of the relief desperately needed.
Our friend and Ingress comrade Iris Garcia @moonsilver has been in the middle of the chaos, giving updates via FB Messenger when she can to let us know that she is safe, and to spread her growing concern about Puerto Ricans' safety. She has recounted to us amazing and heartbreaking stories of elderly neglect, the struggle to clear the roads yet also keeping people safe, bringing critical patients to their dialysis, declining morale and suicide, delayed surgeries, working with the banks and gas stations to fulfill temporary and long term needs. Among it all, the devastating chore of tracking down friends and family members with broken signal and crippled cell towers. They have survived with dwindling water and food supplies in a cash-only environment amidst social chaos and looting.
If you know Iris, you know her sweet heart and willingness to jump in and help in the most dire of circumstances, a skill that she is employing now to the fullest to keep her family and her island safe. As the banks now begin to slowly open, please consider donating to Iris's family and her neighborhoods as they work to survive, keep their families safe, and rebuild their island. Please help how you can!
100% of funds will go directly to Iris Garcia to assist in the rescue and rebuilding of her family and local community.
