Hurricane Maria
8 years ago
Time and memory, frozen in crystal.
Greetings, FA. Long time since I updated this page.
As you all are probably aware, Puerto Rico was ravaged by Hurricane Maria two months ago. It was a...Pretty scary experience to say the least. Thankfully me and my family pulled through just fine without losing anything, but the recovery after its passing was and still is very touch and go. More than half the island is still without power, and even those of us who have power again are on a very delicate infrastructure where the power can go out at any given time.
It's...Not been easy, seeing my home island ravaged and destroyed. I can't say this hasn't affected me despite being one of the very lucky ones who has managed to find food, water, and still have a roof over his head. People are still out there suffering, help has been arriving but we still need so much more. Political red tape is hindering recovery efforts, and incompetency and corruption in our government are only making things worse. It's all been stressful and so frustrating to watch. You can't help but feel powerless.
Anyway, just wanted to let anyone who reads this know that I'm fine and that we are surviving. There are no shortages of charity groups out there who are helping Puerto Rico recover, so if you know of any please don't hesitate to donate even a dollar to help us out.
