Puerto Rico Earthquake Relief June 2020

Puerto Rico Earthquake Relief June 2020

As a continuation of our support to a few families with disabled children who lost their home, a number of volunteers traveled on June 20 to visit Cassandra in her new home. Cassandra is wonderful 20 year lady who was born with hydrocephalus and is wheelchair bound. When we first met her and her mother in March, she was living in her earthquake refugee center and her wheelchair was not working. It was heartwarming to see Cassandra now living in a proper home with her parents. Thanks to our help, they were able to repair the electric wheelchair. Seeing Cassandra’s smile was incredibly rewarding. We will continue to be involved with her and her family and hope we can help her go back to college.

KFPR volunteers spent Mother’s Day to help prepare 500 meals which were donated and distributed to 500 poor elderly people in 4 different communities: Payita in Santurce, Buena Vista in Hato Rey, and Buen Consejo and Hill Brothers Sur in Rio Pedras. KFPR , along with another donor, also sponsored the cost of the food. A big thanks to Plato Restaurant who opened their doors for this special event and who cooked the meals.
