It’s been five months since Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the island province of Puerto Rico. The world watched, eyes glued to their screens as footage of flooded streets cycled on every news channel.
When I saw the news and heard the stories of destruction, I knew I needed to go and see for myself. I needed to check on our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico.
Our partners on the ground told me that the last five months have been an ongoing struggle to survive and to rebuild. They pointed out buildings whose roofs had been blown off and recalled how the water had risen up to 13 feet in some places — reaching the balconies of two-story houses!
For a time, the entire island lost power. We watched as electrical crews worked to repair power lines, but many communities are still without electricity.
When devastation comes in the form of a hurricane or an earthquake or a brutal war, it affects everyone. It impacts the wealthy and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, the old and the young.
