Light Up Puerto Rico

People are sleeping outside their homes. Fearing when is the next “shaking” of the earth. After putting a tent in front of their house this was some of their responses to us the next day: “after four nights we could finally sleep! We even heard the men snoring!” “I slept like a princess!”

SEPTEMBER 2018

ONE YEAR! ⛈💨⚡️One year after Hurricane María swept the Island. Not one month passed by without sending a group! Every single month we had volunteers helping in many ways. Rebuilding families lives! Still plenty of work to do.
THANK YOU! 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🇵🇷

LUPR June/July Volunteers:
AMAZING group of four families (The Earls, Halls, Browns, and Myers from Arizona and Las Vegas) that decided to spend their Summer Vacation serving our Island Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. What a marvelous example of hard work and selfishness. No matter what AGE they all held a tool and fixed broken homes. We all experienced heartbreaking stories, miracles and met wonderful families and individuals. Despite of all of what they are STILL going through (nothing easy) we learned from them that hope and faith is the last thing that you loose. Thank you!

“Stay Positive!” An ironic phrase found at the bottom of the rubble.

Martita is a sweet, kind person. She shared her stories of how hurricane Maria tore her house to shreds. She lost everything. She has lived here for 22 years and will start over. Tears ran down her cheeks as she looked through water-stained picture albums.

We threw everything she owned away. Somehow she continues to “Stay Positive!”

Martita, you are an example to all of us.
