As you are aware, Hurricane Fiona had a significant impact on Puerto Rico. We are doing what we can to assist the people in our neighborhood communities in their recovery efforts. Many have once again lost their homes and personal belongings, so it will be a long road. Power, the internet, and reliable cell phone communication are still spotty for many of us.
Since there was no structural damage or major flooding to our church, we can help using our facilities.At Second Union Church, we are receiving monetary contributions as well as donations for desperately needed items such as baby formula, adult diapers, etc. but we need more help.
If you can contribute, please visit our website and donate using PayPal, Venmo or ATH Mobil. The money that we receive for this purpose will go 100% to our relief efforts.
or you can buy anything from our Wish List at Amazon.com:
We are currently in a position to help people who have immediate needs, but our resources are limited. One hundred percent of the proceeds will help hurricane victims and the recovery efforts. Please flag your donation as “Fiona Hurricane Relief Funds.”
We would appreciate it if you could share this with others! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Humbelina at 713-240-9425.
Be well, stay safe, and God bless you, The 2UC Hurricane Relief Committee
