The constant rush of social media posts and the media portraying the accounts of the daily occurrences of today's world has many gripped in fear.
The anguish of the hurricanes ripping homes apart and earthquakes absolutely devastating infrastructure left many citizens affected with limited resources available to aid in their recovery efforts. Lives have been lost due to these tragic disasters that have absolutely shaken up history. As we speak, a genocide is ensuing and a population of people are being wiped away.
Mexico: In the month of September, Mexico was shaken by an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 that killed about 100 people and left many without shelter and aid--many parts of the region of Oaxaca and Chiapas have suffered great damage and struggle to commence rebuilding their towns. Roughly 12 days later on September 19th, an earthquake with the magnitude of 7.1 shook the land and to this day, the death toll continues to increase. At the moment there are about 366 deaths and 6,000 injured civilians in a surrounding with collapsed buildings and the struggle for resources ensues.

Puerto Rico: Two weeks ago, Hurricane Maria hit the island of Puerto Rico, causing mass destruction and depleting resources for the civilians. The death toll due to Hurricane Maria has jumped to 34 and many citizens are currently struggling to provide their families with meals as well as daily essentials. The island is limited in power, transportation, and communication and to this day after the two weeks of the disaster, civilians find themselves without power. Many civilians have lost their homes and are struggling to survive after the aftermath of the hurricane. Please visit the following links and help our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters:
