Give Back To Puerto Rico
As members of the diaspora I feel a certain obligation to give back to those in the island who are in need or even fund programs that will better the available resources and living conditions of those on the island. (never donate to government organizations). Here I've listed some local organizations and the services they provide to the island.

These are organizations I have donated to personally or have been recommended to add on the list if anyone has any others they would like to add please feel free to reach out.
