Guys! Now is the time to act!
Due to Hurricane Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico has been left devastated leaving it’s citizens without food, safe water, clothing, medical supplies, and shelter. Relief efforts are being done all over the country, but there is still so much that can be done. President Trump sees Puerto Ricans as lazy and asking for handouts, well I see them as American citizens and human beings in need of our help– and I hope you do too.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with many other artists like Marc Anthony, Camila Cabello, Dessa, Alex Lacamoire, Luis Fonsi, Jennifer Lopez, Anthony Ramos, and so many more, have come together to produce Almost Like Praying, a benefit song aimed to raise money and awareness for Puerto Rican relief efforts. The song is available on Apple Music, Itunes, Spotify, and Youtube where you can watch, share, and contribute whatever you can.
Want to do more? Donate to the Hispanic Federation, a non-profit founded by Luis Miranda in 19990, where 90% of the proceeds will go to those in need. There is also an Almost like Praying collection on Tee Rico, a family and community oriented merchandise shop created by Lin-Manuel Miranda (the Miranda’s are the best js), that will be giving 100% of the proceeds to Puerto Ricans in need.
And get out and get active! I can’t even begin to name all the groups and organizations– big and small– all over the country that are doing their part to donate and help out. Check Facebook groups, use word out mouth, look online– commit yourself to doing at least one thing that will help our people.
Every little thing counts so please please, do your part and lend a helping hand! I believe in you! Get out there and make it happen!
