Puerto Rico was badly damaged by Hurricane Maria. The storm caused billions of dollars worth of property damage. Efforts to repair and rebuild houses, roads, and telecom infrastructure are going to take months. Around half of the U.S. territory's residents lack cell phone service.

  • UNICEF
  • One America Appeal
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Caritas de Puerto Rico
