1
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:46,000
what is still a beautiful island.

2
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:07,440
- When I think of Puerto Rico,
I know that my heart is here.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,720
It's my home.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,313
It's where I was raised, where
all the people I love are.

5
00:00:15,830 --> 00:00:18,760
Maria really destroyed the whole island

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,990
My name is Angelique Sina and I created

7
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:34,960
the Hurricane Maria
Recovery Fund on Facebook.

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,510
I was in DC when the hurricane hit.

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,623
and nobody was prepared for it.

10
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:41,760
So it was a sense of what's
happening and how bad is it.

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,130
The only thing I could think of was

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,500
That's what I did.

13
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:48,000
to launch a fundraiser on Facebook.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I started with ten thousand
then I kept moving it,

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,200
it just kept going and going and going.

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,653
As of December 31st, we've raised

17
00:01:01,653 --> 00:01:04,000
1.2 million dollars on Facebook.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,500
It's something that, you
know, the kids need.

19
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:10,000
We were able from those
funds to donate art supplies.

20
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,000
Things that are not reminding
them of the hurricane.

21
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,000
barbecues, tarps and
life saving generators.

22
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:39,500
The most powerful thing is
that it's from all of us

23
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,103
and I hope that people can
continue to help rebuild

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,500
We brought groceries,
medication, gas stoves,
