They collected items to send to both places. With PR's infrastructure the way it is now I ended up donating to Carmelo Anthony's fund. </p> <p>Mark Zuckerberg took a virtual tour of PR's devastation to promote FB's new virtual capabilities. There is a gross level of insensitivity and care displayed right now. Maybe it's just too many horrible things happening at once or maybe it's something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puerto-rico-crisis#post-2779367 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:26:03 +0000 Shantuck 2779367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated to her disaster relief organization as well as a neighbor’s gofundme page. The reports my neighbor is getting from her family there are shocking and depressing. I can’t believe how this can happen in this day and age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puerto-rico-crisis#post-2779293 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 14:12:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2779293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: I donated to her foundation too! I love that she is on the ground too, and showing us what they're able to do with the donations. I love that she is targeting towns that aren't getting anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puerto-rico-crisis#post-2779282 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:42:51 +0000 MaryM 2779282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend is living in San Juan while working for the government. I haven't read many news reports, but have gotten daily updates from her. The situation is so incredibly sad! (She was pretty lucky, but there's a lot of destruction around her) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puerto-rico-crisis#post-2779277 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:30:47 +0000 NorthStar 2779277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you seen this? It makes me SO damn angry that the people of PR are not receiving adequate aid and the federal government seems to not care. I wish there was something more we can do. I am planning on donating to BStrong as Bethenny Frankel is doing amazing things there currently. </p> <p>Watching this interview made me speechless.</p> <p><a href="https://thinkprogress.org/scott-perry-accuses-media-of-making-up-puerto-rico-reports-cnn-f00b92d55129/" rel="nofollow">https://thinkprogress.org/scott-perry-accuses-media-of-making-up-puerto-rico-reports-cnn-f00b92d55129/</a> </p>
