OPERATION PUERTO RICO CARE-LIFT

After Hurricane Irma hit we created Operation Puerto Rico Care-Lift. Alerted to the desperate situation in Puerto Rico by a friend of ours who had grown up there and had friends who were teachers on the island, we created what we called a Pop-Up relief organization. All of the schools were closed and children and parents were living in unthinkable conditions having lost their homes. We were able to raise funds to purchase supplies and more importantly partner with Spirit Airlines to fly thousands of pounds of supplies to the island. In addition, Spirit Airlines also allowed us to bring 2 flights of citizens in medical need and with children off the island and to the mainland. This particular operation went on for months.
