Rosemary Barclay is dedicated to helping the Puerto Rico relief fund and you can help.

Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, on September 20, 2017. This hurricane hit Puerto Rico exactly two weeks after Hurricane Irma grazed the island. Irma remains the most powerful Caribbean hurricane on record.

Between the wrath of the two hurricanes, Puerto Rico is still reeling in the aftermath.
Rosemary Barclay explains that even though the hurricane’s devastation has long-since left the news, it is far from over. The Puerto Rican people are still in desperate need of assistance.

Therefore, she has dedicated herself to donating to the cause.

Now, Rosemary Barclay shows how you can donate to the Puerto Rico Relief Fund.

Monetary Donations

Money is always appreciated, as it can go toward filling any kind of need. The devastation in Puerto Rico is vast and everything from rebuilding to essentials for living costs money.

“Even if people are getting aid to rebuild, the funds still have to come from somewhere. There’s only so much that can be provided,” Rosemary Barclay said. “The rest comes from kind-hearted individuals like you.”

Here are a few places that you can donate to ensure the money is getting to the people who need it most:

Save the Children
Direct Relief
Global Giving

Create Your Own Fundraiser

The people of Puerto Rico need all the help they can get. So, if you feel compelled to help, but you want to do more than send money, start your own fundraiser.

This is a simple act that can help rebuild the island and restore order to Puerto Rico. The fundraiser can be for money, or it can be for relief items.

Especially if you’re good at networking, this could become a large community effort.
“All it takes is one person who wants to help…It’s amazing what can be accomplished from there,” Barclay said.

So, here are a few items that continue to be in demand:

Diapers
Baby formula
Feminine Products
Toothpaste/Toothbrushes
Toilet Paper
Bottled Water
Deodorant
Non-Perishable Food Items

Donate Your Time
Rosemary Barclay wants people to know that while physical donations are wonderful, the donation of time is also needed.

Everyone has a specialty and can help reconstruct the island. The destruction that wrought Puerto Rico will undoubtedly take years to fix. While having money and resources is great, the people are also in need of people to rebuild and allocate those resources.

Barclay insists that there’s an influx of volunteers, still eager to help, but the need is still there. Regardless of whether you have a specialty, or simply the will to help, you are needed in Puerto Rico.

However, if you do choose to donate your time, ensure that you’re being safe about it. Barclay wants everyone to know, who is considering this selfless, admirable option, that there are places resources to help you.

Puerto Rico VOAD is an organization that will be able to assist you in your pursuit.

In summation, Rosemary Barclay wants everyone to know how thankful she is for considering helping Puerto Rico. This is a place that is close to her heart. Barclay is overwhelmed with the generosity and kindness she has experienced throughout this endeavor or relief and rebuilding.
