Introduction

Hurricane Fiona entered Puerto Rico on September 18, 2022 as a Category 1 Hurricane. The most vulnerable communities received historic levels of rain, which caused heavy flooding, landslides, road ruptures and power outages. Families lost homes and property, while other communities have been left uncommunicated and without access. Reparations are expected to take months of work.

Our impact so far ...

Thanks to your support, we have:

Identified the community needs of 50+ community leaders and collaborated with MMM Foundation to provide them with support worth $10,500
Disbursed $70,500 in community grants to ACUTAS, Causa Local, Hogar Niñas de Cupey, and Fundación Alas a la Mujer
Fundraised $13,100 at an intimate dinner in Washington, DC
Supported Ghost Ops' emergency relief brigades which have an estimated value of $65,705.17

Needs

Integro is communicating directly with community leaders and nonprofit organizations on the ground to aid them in the rebuilding and relief process. While they are still in the assessment phase, we have committed to support them in the rebuilding process in the ways that the communities themselves request. While specifics are still unknown, some initial foreseen necessities will be:

Removing debris, opening access and cleaning homes
Rebuilding homes and community centers
Repairing infrastructure
Replace lost property
Provide health equipment to vulnerable community members
Other needs will arise in the process of relief

Call to Action

Support our campaign, so we can provide direct funding and resources to the communities in need. 100% of the collected funds of this campaign will be granted to the affected communities, ensuring transparency and accountability of the work and use of funds.

In the process of rebuilding and fixing the damages caused by Hurricane Fiona, we will be prioritizing community grants to projects working on long term reconstruction. Some of the priority groups we have identified include:

Community group in Toa Baja, currently opening access and cleaning homes that were flooded
Providing equipment to community centers in southern municipalities
Reconstruction of community center in Puerta de Tierra
