On January 7, 2020 a magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit the island of Puerto Rico. This earthquake and the many aftershocks that followed the quake left several injured, many with no homes, and thousands sleeping outside of their houses in tents due to structural damage. Power has been restored for most of the island but the continuing aftershocks threaten power loss at any given time.
Light of Life PR is a non-profit organization located in Puerto Rico that specializes in giving aid to remote locations on the island that have not received federal aid after a natural disaster.
Lele's Project is collaborating with Light of Life as we focus on bringing sustainable materials and medical help to the Rosado Family in Guanica, Puerto Rico.
We are aiming to help the Rosado family, a family of 7 people, specifically helping Priscila Rosado Troche, who has lung cancer, asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure. The family is currently living in tents in Camp Oasis. A sustainable form of power is needed not only for their quality of living but also to help power breathing machines and a sleep apnea machine needed by Priscila's son in law.
We are currently working on completing the purchase list that consists of:
~3 Solar Fans
~1 Generators
~Bulk Panadol
~24 Instant Ice Packs
~Diabetic supplies: antibiotic creams, cotton swabs, bandages, as well as hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes
~Food and water
These items will be personally delivered by Lele's Project!
If you would like to purchase any of the items above or send supplies directly to Light of Life PR you can do that too!
