• One America Appeal - This group is a project spearheaded by five former U.S presidents; Obama, both Bushes, Clinton, carter. The project’s website explains, “ As former presidents, we wanted to come together to help our fellow citizens in Texas, Florida,  and the Caribbean as they recover and rebuild.” Many of the citizens of Puerto Rico are feeling hopeful when it comes to recovery efforts. Organizations such as The Marana hosted many workshops which helped many families design and build their homes with the help of many architects and the local community. People can definitely donate money even if it is just $1 to hundreds of millions, and volunteer work as part of many programs that have been created to deal with the aftermath of natural disasters. Various programs/organizations are working with the government in Puerto Rico for resources, some of them are corporate partners which are Bacardi, The Miami Foundation, Walmart and Mercy Corps.
