The Puerto Rican community in Aurora is rallying to help the people of Puerto Rico after the devastation caused by Hurricane Fiona, which hit the island over the weekend.
“Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the people of Puerto Rico,” said Iris Miller, president of the Aurora Puerto Rican Cultural Council.The group is spearheading fundraising efforts in the Aurora area to provide aid to Puerto Rico. At this time, only monetary donations and gift cards to Walmart, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, PetSmart and Walgreens are being accepted.
Hurricane Fiona will be remembered for the deluge of rain as the slow-moving system moved through Puerto Rico. Rain was hitting the island for almost 48 hours during the storm, Miller said. The system was slow moving but it had a lot of impact because of the rain and wind. “The last report I heard was that about 19% of the island’s population has power. Puerto Rico has a population of more than 3 million so that is very minimal,” she said Tuesday.
