Starting Day 9 #AfterMaria in the Costco parking lot, waiting in line for 3 hours in the hopes that we'll be able to buy bottled water. It's our second try.
Emergency situation continues. No power, limited water. Shortages of diesel, gas, food, bottled water, medicine. Long multi-hour lines for everything. Curfew.
The sick are dying, even in hospitals. It's bad.
Please keep the pressure up on your Senators, Reps, and White House. #SavePR

ValerieAndBooks Scary. Has the postal service started up again yet? 7y
DGRachel {{hugs}} 7y
alisiakae Is it okay if I share this elsewhere? A friend and I (her family is from PR) are organizing a donation drive in affiliation with Puerto Rico Rises and United for Puerto Rico. I really hope conditions improve soon, and that the lifting of the Jones Act that happened yesterday helps. 7y
julesG @ValerieAndBooks We could send care packages! 7y
FictionFox I'm so sorry this is happening.. stay safe ❤️ 7y
BookishMarginalia @4thhouseontheleft Of course! 💜 -- @ValerieAndBooks a few post offices are open for limited service; no residential delivery as of yet. Thanks! 💜 7y
ValerieAndBooks @julesG that‘s what I‘m thinking...with bottled water included! Even if it‘s just a 16oz bottle included in each package. @BookishMarginalia let us know what we can do in addition to contacting politicians. 7y
BarbaraBB I feel for you. I hope real help will come soon! 7y
Grrlbrarian I'm so sorry! Good thoughts and prayers! 7y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders I wish we had a way of sharing Litsy posts to a greater audience. Something to take this message and maybe help to get the word out - or more words helping to get out. I do hope massive levels of relief come your way. And soon. 7y
Posh_Salad I'm so sorry! Sending positive thoughts for relief soon. 7y
Librarianaut Here is a link to get to any US Senator, in case you want to send an email. I just used it to email the NC senators. https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?OrderBy=stat... 7y
Abailliekaras Jeepers! How terrible. So sorry to hear this. I'm shocked. Hope some good leadership & help emerges soon. 7y
Tamra It's a disgrace and I'm disgusted by what seems a slothful response of Am govt. I hope the international relief permitted now arrives very very soon! 7y
Mdargusch Was your trip successful? I'm praying for you and all the other hurricane victims. What a nightmare. 🙏🏼 7y
jpmcwisemorgan I‘m sorry. We‘re keeping pressure on. People are collecting in Austin but I know that does little when we can‘t get it there. One of my colleagues is from PR, with family still there, and she says postal service is resuming next week but I just don‘t see how it‘s going to get through to people. If it does let us know so we can send supplies. 7y
Lizpixie Let us know if we can do anything for you. Being in Australia there's a limited amount I can manage unfortunately, but all of you are in my thoughts. Be safe.❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y
AmyG I think of you all the time...just hope you are ok....and help comes soon. 7y

Jabberwocky Wishing I could do more from Canada. I've sent as much as I can afford, I hope changes happens soon. 🇨🇦 7y
BarbaraJean You and @WanderingBookaneer have been in my thoughts & prayers... but donations, thoughts, and prayers really don't feel like enough. I'm proud to live in a state with reps who are fighting for relief efforts... but that doesn't feel like enough, either. Hoping things improve soon, and know there are lots of us in the Littenverse and beyond who care about you! 7y
JacqMac I'm glad you are able to keep us updated, so we know you guys are ok. I'm so heartbroken for you all. 7y
