Help for Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has suffered the effects of a series of damaging earthquakes this month. Residents have experienced lack of power, water, and school closings in a country that is still recovering from the devastating hurricanes of 2017.

We have compiled helpful resources for those affected by the earthquakes, including resources to help children suffering from post-disaster trauma.
