Those of us along the southeast part of Florida consider ourselves lucky. But many have been heavily impacted by not just Harvey, but now those who have had their homes and lives tossed and turned by Hurricane Maria. 

They need help and they need it now. Please read Michelle's post and let her know what you will do to help.

Want To Help the US Territory Puerto Rico? Here is How... by Silicon Valley REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe

Currently, Puerto Rico is dealing with the aftermath of experiencing the fifth strongest hurricane to ever land in the United States. For those that don't know, Puerto Rico is an island off the coast of Florida but past Haiti and Cuba.

With its distance, and it being a territory rather than state, people often overlook that it is part of the United States. Due to that, many people are still very focused on the Irma reliefs in Florida where most have power, resources, and places to go since they're connected to the mainland.

What is scary about Puerto Rico's situation is a majority of these people are stuck on their island, even though they have nothing left. Their entire island is without power, and one of their dams has cracked, causing further floods and troubles. Even more so, they are continuing to get flash flood warnings. This kind of devastation shows without a doubt that the island needs both our prayers and our help. Here is how we can give relief for our fellow brethern...

Global Giving

This massive international crowdfunding community that connects nonprofits and donors is providing emergency supplies like food, water and medicine to hurricane victims in Puerto Rico. All donations to this fund exclusively support hurricane relief and recovery efforts in the Caribbean. You can donate here.

UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, is providing immediate support to children affected by Hurricane Maria. 90 percent of every dollar spent goes directly to helping kids. You can donate to UNICEF USA here.

Unidos: A Relief Fund for Hurricane Maria Victims in Puerto Rico

The Hispanic Federation, along with New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio and U.S. Reps. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.) and Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), set up this fund. One hundred percent of proceeds will go to hurricane relief and recovery efforts. You can donate to them here.

It breaks my heart, Kathy. The people of Puerto Rico have suffered so much, looming bankruptcy notwithstanding. Two hurricanes have devastated that island. The issues confronting our own lives pale in comparison.

Hi Kathy

Thanks for sharing this - I did not see Michelle's post but it's an important message to get out. Puerto Rico really has suffered and from the sounds of it is having a tough time getting the help they need.
