Hey, guys! This probably breaks my aesthetic, but I don’t care.
On top of the IMMENSE economic and human loss that Puerto Rico will face after Hurricane Irma:
Puerto Rico is about to lose power for 6 months. Yes, no electricity for six months. SIX MONTHS.
180 DAYS.
YOU KNOW THAT SONG SEASONS OF LOVE FROM RENT? YEAH, THINK OF 525,600 MINUTES CUT IN HALF.
262,800 MINUTES.
15,768,000 SECONDS. NO ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY, TELEVISION, AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING, THE INTERNET, PHONES, RADIO, NOTHING.

UPDATE: PLEASE REBLOG AGAIN! MORE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Hurricane Irma passed JUST north of Puerto Rico, damaging some buildings on the island and leaving one million people without power.
The damage was MUCH worse than originally feared on the islands of Barbuda and the territories of St. Martin and St. Bart.
Nearly 100% of the buildings in the island of Barbuda have been severely damaged or destroyed. 60% of the island’s people have no access to adequate housing.
I don’t mean to fear-monger, but:
Your help is still needed. The response to the original post? We’ll need DOUBLE that if we’re going to make a difference in these people’s lives. Their entire islands must be rebuilt.
We cannot rely on the mainstream media to carry our cause. We must fight and help people on our own. I can promise that this WILL NOT receive the same amount of attention that hurricane harvey received. PLEASE REBLOG.
