It’s been three days since Hurricane Fiona ravaged Puerto Rico... leaving most people on the island without power or water.
FOX10 News spoke with Lisa Rosado Rivera, a student at the University of Mobile. Her parents are at home in San Juan, Puerto Rico. They, along with many others, have been forced to look for places with sufficient power and water.“For me, I’m a big family person and so my whole family is over there, so I know that I am safe here, my brother is safe here too and my family is probably not. So in that sense, expanding prayers and thoughts and donations,” said Rivera.
“All this week, everything is paused. We can’t go to work, people can’t go to school or to college because those are basic things we need to work and to study- so it means that it’s like a little pause,” she added.“We don’t really need food right now. We have plenty of food in our supermarkets, in our stores. What we really need is- if you want to work with a nonprofit organization that helps with building houses- that would be great, like Habitat for Humanity,” explained Rivera.
