How to Help Our Fellow Citizens in Puerto Rico
More than seven months after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the island is still experiencing the effects of the storm’s devastation. Just recently, residents experienced another island-wide power outage (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/18/603569966/puerto-rico-loses-power-again). Despite difficult terrain and budget issues, Puerto Rico is striving to rebuild in the wake of the hurricane.
At Tax Law Solutions, we have a special place in our hearts for Puerto Rico. Our business is headquartered there (we also have an office in Illinois), and most of our team members are residents on the island. Puerto Ricans are strong people, and as fellow U.S. citizens, there are many ways we can offer support to help them rebuild. Below there are two examples of charitable organizations.
Unidos Por Puerto Rico – https://www.unidosporpuertorico.com/
Founded by the first lady of Puerto Rico, Unidos provides assistance to individuals and small businesses devastated by Hurricanes Irma and María. Unidos accelerates recovery by supporting needs of shelter, food and health to help rebuild lives and communities in Puerto Rico.
