Puerto Rican Hurricane Relief Fund
Donation protected
Puerto Rico was nearly destroyed by hurricane Maria on September 20, 2017. Those of us in the diaspora are doing everything we can to raise funds to help Puerto Rico as much as possible. These funds will be used to aid and support those who have struggled in the island for the last couple of months with very limited amenities and dwindling resources.
To briefly sum it up, the situation is critical; Two months after Maria and the entire island is still struggling for electricity and will be for months, there are still those out there without water, and those who do have it must purify it before drinking because the water isn't getting purified due to the power shortage and thus is not safe to consume. Crime rate is sky rocketing because people are hungry, thirsty, and desperate. People are dying from dehydration, illness outbreaks, lack of medicines; the death toll is still inaccurate and higher by the day.
YOU CAN HELP by donating money here for supplies and/or by attending the show at Star Theater on Wednesday, December 6th, 2017. All proceeds will be donated.
