A conversation with Francisca Reber. Hurricane Maria devastated the island of Puerto Rico over a year ago. Francisca Reber would like to continue to bring awareness to the needs that still need to be met. Over 4,000 lives were lost as a result of the hurricane some due to the lack of resources and essentials like water, food, etc. A chance meeting between Dan and Francisca turned into an invitation to the our complex to help broaden the relief efforts. Francisca and others from her church and community will be at Sam’s Club & Walmart until Mid-July. Please help where you can as we’re all in this together.
