Puerto Rico Needs an Apology, a Huge Investment in Help and a Reason to Believe This Will Never Be Our Response Again


While areas of Texas and Florida impacted by hurricanes were back on their feet within weeks to a few months, Puerto Rico still languishes a year later. Surely a superpower of our abilities could have done better regardless of the logistics of handling a crisis on the island. Thankfully, there were many who helped. Below you will see some of those described. 

I would also encourage you to pay attention to the areas recently impacted by Hurricane Florence. Here is the page from Samaritan's Purse if you would like to help.
