Post María Recovery Efforts
After Hurricane Maria our foundation enhanced its mission with hands on efforts to work with the various
communities of La Isleta:
-
Our volunteers and neighbors began with debris removal from day 1.
-
We serve as a community support center. We gave power to 6 neighbors surrounding our foundation building.
-
The foundation opened its doors as a communication center (with our land line) and served as cell phone recharge center.
-
Gave support for patients who needed respiratory therapy and to keep their insulin on ice.
-
As the crisis intensified, we began to store refrigeration items for the neighbors and created the community dining room to serve breakfast and a hot meal.
-
While the schools remained closed, we served as a workshop and tutorial center for the children.
-
The foundation has also received containers of humanitarian aid from the diaspora; not only for our community but for many communities on the island and we have channeled it through volunteer work.
-
We got engaged with our children and got donations of toys so that together we could enjoy Christmas.
