PR is desperately in need of drinkable water! We need to get as many of these LifeStraws over to them ASAP.
"Puerto Rico is under a mandatory Boil Water Notice, but in some towns, the water can't be used even if it's boiled. The government confirmed 4 deaths of Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease) and confirmed 10 other cases, even though reliable sources in Hospitals tell us the number of cases is much much higher. This is the result of the water treatment system not working for lack of power. Also, dead animal bodies and their waste are contaminating lakes, canals, rivers and reservoirs." - PR Informa FB Post on 10-11-17

NOW is the time to act. Reports are coming in from the island that the waters that are standing have dead pets and other animals in them. People that have no water are using waters that may be contaminated to bathe and drink! We need to send these LifeStraws over to the island so we could help prevent sickness. Anything you give is immensely appreciated! ~Irma L.
