First Lady of Puerto Rico

Helping fellow Americans in Puerto Rico

October 19, 2017

Last night, we joined the efforts of the First Lady of Puerto Rico by donating $5,000 to assist in meeting the basic survival needs of food, clothing, and shelter of the people of Puerto Rico, and to help facilitate the rebuilding of lives and communities.

We stand with the people of Puerto Rico in their rebuilding efforts, and we commend the First Lady for her quick action in raising support for the Unidos por Puerto Rico Fund.

Helping our fellow Americans has been, and will continue to be, our mission.
