Home For The Holidays In Orocovis, Puerto Rico

Written By Chris Balas

HEART 9/11 volunteers returned to Orocovis, PR, to rebuild the home of an elderly family they met last September during our Hurricane Fiona response.

This family suffered severe damage to their humble home in Hurricanes Maria and Fiona. Yet, they continued to smile through the destruction. They were incredibly thankful for HEART 9/11’s assistance with a tarp. They offered to share what little they had to show their appreciation. Our volunteers have not been able to stop thinking about this family and the desperate condition they are living in on the side of the mountain. 

HEART 9/11’s goal is to build them a home where they can live comfortably. Our teams will replace the roof, upgrade the damaged electric, and complete other much-needed repairs in partnership with LiUNA Eastern Region and Citylife Church. 

Together, we can give the gift of safety and security to the Robles family in time for the holidays while teaching carpentry skills and providing much-needed instruction to the residents. Please consider a donation for this project today.
